A four-pronged trigger-type grabber on a pole designed for picking up snapping turtles. For the prevention of bites while removing them from the road without having to rely solely on their sense of gratitude.

The grabbers are springy and are designed in such a way to allow them to engage simply pushing down on the back of the shell (they spread out and hook under the shell). The trigger disengages the grabbers when the turtle is safely placed. This allows for quick action in traffic.
