You'd be very sorry if you didn't stop for this guy. It'd probably destroy your wheel!

They're not sorry. Far from it...

Had one of those climb up next to me laying block on my first house and dig a hole and lay eggs. Bad arse turtles. I took a break.

I happened across one of those on my way home once, carpooling with the wife. Heaved the car to the side really fast, leapt out and grabbed the turtle by the tail, and tossed him into a big steel washtub in the back of the car. It was a near thing, his shell was all of at least 12" long, and he didn't seem at all pleased at being picked up.

Wife was a bit surprised. "What do you want the turtle for?"

"Well, shoot. I don't want him FOR anything, but you know if we leave him some ass is going to run him over. Can't just leave him there."

We put him in one of the wider pools in a local stream. That was about eight years ago, every now and then we see him against the bottom when we're out hiking.
