in one of my old schools a really big snapping turtle came out from this small wet pond inside school grounds in a very low area guarded by a fence.But somehow the snapping turtle got past the fence by digging under it.So the duties *the people who watch kids during recess* got a big stick and tried pushing him back in but he kept biting it so they pushed on his shell trying to turn him around and push him into the pond from his butt.
i have 10 turtles 5 boys 5 girls but all of them are active is it normal ?
This turtle of mine,which is one of those sliders, is constantly trying to escape my hands after taking him out of his feeding pen.I would like to know if its going to stop anytime soon.Its a little bigger than the one in this video.Ive had it since it was the size of a fresh newborn.

mine looks like he’s swimming when I hold him

haha dont listen to him lol pick a snapping turtle up by its plastron he cant bite u pick him up by the front of his carapace and u will more than likely get a nasty bite i know have been bitten by holding snappers by the front of there carapace alligator snapping turtles u can pic up by the carapace though because there neck is not as long and cant put there heads inside there shell
