i rescuded 3 full grown monster sized turtles from the road this year ,also had a huge one lay her eggs in my garden ,then found several babies a few months later ,no bigger then a quarter,i always stop and get turtles off the road when i see them
I found a rather large turtle in the road on my way home from work once. I thought I was going to move it out of the road so it wouldn't get smashed. Before reaching out to it, I thought about the possibility of it being a snapper. I nudged it with my foot a little, and it bit my shoe pretty hard. Needless to say, I just left it there and drove home.
last june there was a 35~40 pounder monster in the middle of richmond ave &richmond hill road,one of the busiest intersections in staten island NY ,it was in front of the police station,the cops were afraid of it,but didn't bother me when i used my lights/siren to stop traffic and remove it from the roadway,put it in a create ,we carried it up into the woods and pointed it up another hill away from traffic &populated areas,alot of people don't realize that they go uphill from water to lay eggs
Up the road there was a big one who got hit by a car. I have some footage of it but I don't think Im going to upload it here. This one was little it couldn't bite.
