That's a fine looking turtle and he is sporting plenty of attitude!

Not the biggest one I've seen, but it's a keeper. Love me some turtle stew. ;D Best way to pick them up is to grab the shell right behind their head, and at the rear near their tail. Or, if they're not huge, just grab 'em by the tail and hold them as far away from you as possible. And yea, they have a nasty bite. I've watched one bite a broomstick in half. Snapped it like a toothpick, so yea, a finger doesn't stand a chance. Great pics. I've never seen one out on the banks like that before. Usually in the water or sunning on rocks or logs when I see them. I see lots of box turtles on the trails though.
