When I accidentally catch Florida cooters and yellow belly sliders (definitly not purposely) they usually just spit the hook out.
If they do get the hook stuck it’s no big deal,they’re just biting on to it,unless it really gets loged in the mouth that’s not a good thing.

the best way to hold them is by gripping their shell just above the point where they can’t bite you.

that’s with alligator snappers because they don’t have a long neck and can’t reach you there.

but with common snappers you hold them around the mid-section of their shell,because they have a long, stretchable neck
