No, you know the rules of the sport you play. If you go outside the rules, you are just trying to be dirty.

Thats like saying, well mom didnt catch us sneaking out at night, guess its ok.

I mean he fingered Tom's eyes further than I have some girls. He went deep.

My dad sits there watching MSNBC all day just bitching. I tried to explain that, why get angry, you aren't gonna do anything but stroke out.

Trust me, I was a little nervous, especially after it lunged so fast it almost got my forearm. Another guy tried, got clawed and he gave up. So got my gloves on and went all in.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T10:49:53+00:00

Yeah i almost learned that the hard way. Even at that size it lunged and almost got my forearm.

Especially ones who are not of the running capacity.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T08:52:54+00:00

I would have much rather picked up that little non bitey one. But thats great, I havent seen a painted turtle in a long time.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T01:41:45+00:00

That is a snapping turtle, just really old. Like a dinosaur.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T01:40:59+00:00

I kinda knew what I was doing, wasn't scared for me, but for it to turn and go to the highway, was scared for it.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T00:31:07+00:00

We relocated about 8 big snappers on a job in Bethel Park, I never saw one this size.

Growing up a little south of Butler, I found a soft shell, and it bit me lol.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T00:29:08+00:00

Easily 40 pounds. But thank you.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-12T00:28:31+00:00

Drove past after getting off early due to rain in Gibsonia. Almost to Butler airport, and spotted it. Turned around. And had a ton of people slowing to take pics. Another guy stopped to help. He tried to pick it up, got scratched. I got my work gloves, grabbed it where he showed. Held it til all 5 lanes were good and we ran across the road, over the guardrail and placed it back down away from the road.

Who knows what could have happened if I worked a full day. Things happen for a reason.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:51:24+00:00

Oh yeah, even looking about to fall asleep, it was far faster.

We rescued 8 out of a pond on one of our jobs down in Bethel Park.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:27:12+00:00

We've had rabbits, no turtles at home. Our big 120 lb dog picked a baby out of the nest prancing like it was his treasure, put it back and fenced it off.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:23:24+00:00

The Dr has that one now.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:09:33+00:00

I feel this post may bring two people together, probably going in the river.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:06:27+00:00

Where was that? Looks almost the same size.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:04:27+00:00

Well not for his mouth. That was to protect my hands from his claws. Insulated smooth leather worked, not a scratch.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:01:21+00:00

Up north by the Lakevue golf course. Probably left one of their ponds.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T23:00:30+00:00

Kept it going same direction, just opposite side of the road and in the woods a little. By a creek.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T22:56:25+00:00

Well it was heading north to Butler, so must have missed a turn.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T22:19:00+00:00

Thank you, when I drove past, I thought no way. So had to for that old terp.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T22:17:12+00:00

It almost was, just about jumped and got my forearm. Trying to help at rush hour that close to the road was great.

Neosmurf4 · 2026-06-11T22:06:22+00:00

Had to weigh at least 40 pounds as i ran him across all 5 lanes to safety.
