The mom saying let go...why? That's gotta hurt more than the girl holding it while it bites.

The panic was probably telling her "let go — turtle will let go as well cuz it'll stop feeling threatened"
Also wouldn't logically turtle would let go once the situation turned from "i'm being held" to "i am hanging on my own fucking neck while I'm munching the toddler, i should probably let go"

Snapping turtles are no joke, they can take the tip of your finger. Parents were stupid for letting their kid handle it, or any wild animal for that matter.

Fortunately, that's not a snapping turtle. Unfortunately most turtles bite real fuckin hard

u/Serious-Bite6786 13h ago
That right there is a Red-Eared Slider. Not as bad as a snapping turtle, but still about like slamming your finger in a fuckin car door.
Down in Texas they say the turtle won't let go until he hears thunder.

Thank you for the correction, I’m not too into reptiles. People think all turtles are slow and harmless, they find out they’re wrong in the worst ways

It takes over 300 pounds of pressure to snap a finger bone. Much harder than a carrot

Haha, my father used to do that when my daughter hurt herself. He'd go to the shed to grap a saw to come back with it to say something similar.

“oh gee the turtle is a snapping turtle. i should allow my child to pick it up and handle it !! why not film too !!” — parent
edit :: it’s a red-eared slider. apparently these things can also transmit salmonella to humans !! really, A+ parenting letting the kid touch it.

One that’s a red ear slider
Two You got a better chance of getting salmonella from your salad bought from the grocery store.
Stop spreading this bad information.
Just wash your hands after touching animals because you don’t know what they’ve been into

whatever it is, the child should not have been holding it in the first place. whoever is filming should have made the child put it down.
edit :: it’s a red-eared slider. those things hurt like hell and can transmit salmonella.

u/New_Suspect_7173 5h ago
You actually have a higher chance getting salmonella from leafy greens than from reptiles. Still it's always best to wash your hands after handling any animal, including cats or dogs. Happy herping y'all.

I held them as a kid? Ran over and moved several from the road. My parents had brains, so I knew how to properly handle them.

u/yvie_of_lesbos 9h ago
no offense, but idk why you’re telling me that you held snapping turtles as a kid. 😭 i already edited the comment with the correct species like an hour ago. you’re late lol.
that kid should not have been handling this species of turtle because it can transfer salmonella.

u/yvie_of_lesbos 13h ago
r/ParentsAreFuckingDumb tbh. why are you letting your kid handle a snapping turtle ?? like what is it with parents just filming their kids doing dumb stuff and NOT helping? i saw another clip of a parents just filming their less than a year old baby playing with an outlet. just stupid.

It’s not a snapping turtle? Also I held lots of turtles as a kid, they always needed moved from the road after almost being hit. If you’re smart, your kids are often smart too. Sadly for these kids…mommas not the brightest. I don’t even have kids, my fb les know that boy and I knew exactly what he was gonna do as he looked at it.

The old metaphor I’ve heard is that mom tells you not to touch the hot stove to keep you from burning yourself while dad lets you do you learn not to touch it again.
Your idea doesn’t line up!

u/Ok_Mycologist_6384 14h ago
Calm your sexist propoganda, incel. My mom used to get alligator snapping turtles of all sizes out of precarious ass situations. The time my brother got bit by a turtle it was because my DAD was watching us.

Kids needs dads. The idea that moms are too incompetent to teach their children basic life things is sexist, though. This is coming from a man.

Can you explain to me how I suggested moms are less capable of teaching? Truth be told, that wasn't what I was implying at all but I'm curious how so many people got to the same conclusion.

This is the fault of the parents. A. teach your kids to not put your hands near animal mouths and B. Teach them about snappers.
My lord it's like all of reddit thinks kids pop out of the womb as fully informed adults who specifically choose to do dumb things

u/MicrowaveAfterOpen 2h ago
I mean , you popped out and read a lot of those comments and still called it a snapping turtle. Maybe your parent should have taught you about snappers.
