Hey everyone,
I have heard a lot of mixed feelings about this topic. What is the best way to hold a an ally snapper? People say that it is really painful to grab them by the tail. (on the turtle)
Thanks
Rob

How big is the Alli Snapper? If its an adult, you can grab the front of the shell(behind the head) and the rear of the shell(above the tail). If its smaller, possibly by grasping the sides of the shell.
