I have picked up about 4 or 5 turtles, since moving to TV and returned them to the ponds. When you pick up a turtle, he will instinctively retract his head and legs. Just make sure that his head is facing AWAY from your body. Then you can just carry them to a nearby pond. They will only stay in this position for a short time, then they will start moving their legs and try to get you to let go. They dont realize that you are trying to help them, but boy are they glad when they see the water.
