Comments - A Baby Snapping Turtle
"Turtles should be grasped gently along the shell edge and near the mid-point of the body.", quoth your "Here" link. If it's a snapper you're courting disaster--their neck can reach around to at least 50% the length of the shell*. Use two hands on the back third of the shell.
*based on review of literature and near personal disaster.
