Nice, I tried to save a snapper that was trying to cross a busy road but it kept snapping at me and I wasn't about to try and pick it up. I eventually gave up and hoped for the best. On my return trip, I saw it's carcass on the side of the road. I have saved other turtles in the past though. Oh, it was a pretty large one too, an alligator snapper.
Been there too. I hold them up by the base of the tail and by one hind leg, holding them out away from my body. They can lunge to bite, but they can't quite reach that way (all 10 fingers crossed).
