First find a good lake, creek, river or stream that your sure has turtles in it, depending on what type of turtle your looking for get turtle food sticks you can get them at your local pet store, grind them into powder then sprinkle it on meat, it doesnt really matter what kind of meat turtkey works really good. then take the meat and put it on a river bank wait awhile and hide, eventually a turtle will come make sure the turtle isn't big enough to bite ur fricken head off, then go and book it and catch the little guy. remember if your going to keep him find out if it's legal first and find out their tank requirements, if not always return something where you found it, (expecially your friends wallet) good luck

Well first of all you should not mess with them or touch them because the adults and young snapping turtles can take your fingers off. But if you insist then you should try your best to stay as far away from the head as much as you can or pick the adults up by the tail but large adults might be heavy and cause you trouble dragging or lifting them. Also keep them far from your body.

Depending on how big it is, just pick it up and put it into a glass cage or bowl (depending on the type of turtle). If it is too big for you to pick up, I do not recommend capturing it.

Can you pick up your cockatiel?

You can pick up a cockatiel whether it is hand tame or not. This does influence how you pick it up, though. If your cockatiel is hand tame, you just put it on your finger, your arm, your shoulder, etc. and it just sits there happily. When it is not hand tame, you have to pick the cockatiel up by its back with your index finger and middle finger around its head. On the internet, look up ways to hold an untame cockatiel and find a diagram so that you pick your cockatiel up correctly if it is untame.
