I was going around a bend and saw 2 cars pulled over on the side of the road and an older lady & younger woman waving their hands for me to stop, so I'm thinking there was a wreck and somebody was hurt. I go running up and she's almost in tears asking me to save the poor turtle that is about to get run over.
The older lady said they thought it was a snapping turtle and were too scared to try to touch it. Told her it wasn't a snapper and picked it up from either side, that's when it started jerking it's legs and peeing like a fire hose, they both screamed. It was pretty comical
You could......but you wouldn't like the consequences...
Learned my lesson with snappers when I was 15, thought I was gonna be Billy bad-ass and mess with one, he schooled me otherwise.
I've found the commons to be more aggressive than alligator. They're really very different temperaments. Commons are active and almost hunt, alligators just fucking chill until some swims close enough to kill.
You could do it 10 times.
This is all true. Their neck is longer also I think.
Definitely not a snapper. Looks like a chicken turtle. Where did you find him?
That or painted, idk. Stripes on the neck.
I'd never really thought about the neck thing, but thinking about it now, it sounds right.
The pet shop had some really nice adult red foot tortoises. Unlike turtles, those things are basically dogs with a shell.
I say painted cause those things are fuckin everywhere...
It's unanimous, we all suck with ID'ing a turtle
People hear "alligator" and think OOO SCARY!
but it's the commons that will light you up. Super aggressive and active, with a deceptively long neck that can curl around backwards and reach the top of their shell. Literally the only safe way to hold em is by the middle of the shell between the sets of legs.
You can practically pet gators.

He was in the middle of the road somewhere around Panama City
Definitely a chicken turtle.
You guys suck at ID'ing turtles. I thought chicken turtle right away but the only thing I wasn't sure about was the location. They're not usually found in middle GA. It is 100% a chicken turtle though.

You're a chicken turtle!
If you don't fuck with an alligator snapper, it won't fuck with you...I've been chased by common snappers.
