I helped scoot a pretty big snapping turtle accross the road the other day.

Also, if you pick up a turtle, they will probably pee on you, so be aware. And snapping turtles have long necks and can reach around and get you, so be careful there.

You’d be amazed how much neck hides in that suit.

Just pull out a crisp hundred and put it in front of him; and he’ll crane his neck out until he can start chomping on that delicious leaf of US Treasury Lettuce.
