Came home to find the biggest snapping turtle I've ever seen trying to cross the road. As he was moving so slowly, the big old guy would definitely have been run over. So, with the help of some neighbours, we got him into a pet carrier and drove him off to a nearby (but off-the-beaten-path) stream. Only problem - he wouldn't come out. Finally had to disassemble the carrier ... but all ended well and he swam off up the stream. BIG Turtle!
Good man! People who rescue turtles and animals in general are tops, make the world a better place. Totally different snapping turtles from what we have in eastern North Carolina, one long tail.

NESSIE!!!!
Saw one in our river five years ago. Tail .5 meter at least, bigger than this one even. I bet is a female, but that's just biased.. ;-) Old matriarch.
You did a good deed! and not injured, those claws are also ominous!!!
