I put a 1" stick in front of it, which it promptly bit, lifted it by the stick and carried it off the road.
I then told Ms. Turtle Lover to wait for the police so that she could explain why she caused a 5 car accident.
OBVIOUSLY one should not cause accidents over this.
Best way to pick up a snapper is at the BASE of the rear top shell between the hind legs and hold it WELL AWAY from your body. Picking them up by the tail, especially a big one, can damage the backbone.
