I've seen small ones picked up by the tail, but I sure wouldn't. A large
shovel and a larger box work (according to DBIL).

I love snapping turtles - it is almost like seeing a dinosaur come to life.

They are mean, but pick him up by the tail and don't hold him to close

We nearly ran over this happy fellow last week. I stopped to take him
home for a photo session and possibly release him in our pond. After
several attempts to pick him up by the back legs, it became obvious that
this was a very bad idea.
