Must admit, I too have done the turtle rescue thing, but I'm not too sure that doing it is a good thing. There's the danger of getting hit by a car and the added danger of being bitten by the turtle. Most of those that I have rescued are harmless box turtles, but a few have been snappers and they don't care whether you're trying to help them or not, they just want to take a plug out of you. My 5 year old grandson loves turtles, frogs, snakes, whatever. I took him to the Bass-Pro shop in Springfield, Mo this past weekend. Bass Pro shop had some live turtles and next door in a natural history type museum they had a giant alligator snapping turtle with a head as big around as my leg. My grandson was blown away.
