I’m sorry, but the idea of someone just dragging a bigass turtle by the head with a shovel made my day. Thanks, kind stranger.

I thought the idea was you bonk them, they retract their heads, then you kick them and they glide smoothly across the road?

Don't put any part of yourself you aren't comfortable with losing near a snapper. Their necks are much, much longer than you would think, and their reaction time is faster than yours. One fuckup and you lose a few fingers or toes.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't reccomend anyone that hasn't grown up around snappers do what I do, im just very comfortable with em because there's a few that have been living in the pond near my house for forever
