If you encounter a snapper on a road they are most likely a female who left the area around water to go lay eggs. With my declining health and reflexes no way am I messing with a snapper bare handed.

I sometimes wonder if I'm helping. For all I know, I totally discombobulated the turtle, who now feels lost, and thinks he has to cross the road again.
