Saving a turtle had been on 'cbaby0404’s' mind for a while; she just needed the right moment, until she finally found one.

But this wasn’t just any turtle. It was a snapping turtle, big, angry, and not interested in moving. Settled on the warm concrete, the stubborn reptile showed no urgency in leaving, making the rescue attempt more complicated than expected.

She told Newsflare: I do know how to pick up snappers, y'all, this guy was big and angry! He scared me. But I wanted to save him still."

Luckily, on her way back, she spotted the turtle finally deciding to move on its own.

I save turtles from the road. I had been waiting to find one. Today was the day but he was a snapper. He didn’t want to be saved and he didn’t want to move out of the road. I think he may have liked the way the warm concrete felt on his belly! When I came back by the road he had finally decided it was time to leave.
