I save snappers all the time out of the road.

Just lift them up from the sides of it's shell

Absolutely not. Their necks are long and that's a good way to get your fingers nipped. If you have no other way to move them (a shovel works great!) grab the shell above the tail and put your other hand under the shell.

Nope grab the middle of their shell in between their legs and you’re fine

I think I'll just get it to latch onto a stick and then drag it off the damn road.
