AR, thanks for the video!
Most of the snapping turtles I've taken out of the road are almost as big as my car floor mat. I grab a large branch or a piece of wood and let them latch onto it and drag them off the road. They hiss, rise on their hind legs and can arch their heads half way back and/or under their shell.
They are fierce creatures not to be mess with.
If they grab hold of you, be prepared to take action.

Yeah the one my son moved years ago was huge. It almost bit him and it peed on him lol.
I've never seen a snapping turtle that calm before.

Me either - maybe it was sedated? If they eat slugs, I need a few on my property.

Last night I found a slug that was almost 8" long-it was leaving it's silver trail up the front door frame.

OMG
I saw one that was maybe 5" and thought that was huge. I tried beer in a glass but didn't get many like that and it's a waste of good beer!
