Claws were about 1 1/2 long and it hissed at me twice and charged me. I jumped back in my car and never save turtles anymore.

Over the summer I saved a painted turtle from the death of a semi truck....I was pumping gas watching this turtle cross the street. Some girls had stopped to move it out of the road and were freeking over it....afraid to touch it. Then over the hill comes the semi. I stopped pumping the gas, ran across the lot and into the street scooping up the turtle as the semi driving is slamming on his breaks, blowing his horn at me. I held up the turtle and yelled that I had to save it.........can you believe he flipped me off ~ LOL!
That semi driver bout had a heart attack......but I saved the turtle.
