Please refer to:

A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America Conant and Collins Peterson Field Guides Houghton Mifflin Company ISBN 0-395-90452-8 1998.

See Figure 1, pages 18 and 19. This is explicit as it gets.

Potential damage to the human or turtle notwithstanding, I find it hard to believe anyone with an interest in herps would not have at least one copy of this essential reference. Personally, I have all three editions. I met Roger Conant, and if there was anyone more passionate and knowledgeable about the health and well being of herps its news to me.

I believe that a live snapper off the road beats a squashed one on the road. Hence, I will continue to move such in the safest way possible to both them and me, which is by the tail.

Riddle:
Q: How do you tell an expert snapper handler from an experienced snapper handler?
A: He has all his fingers.

Regards,
John D.
