Yup…terrapins have armpits, too.
When we were kids, we used to catch eastern box turtles.
The trick was to sneak up behind them and pick them up as they were moving, before they closed their shells.
We would hold them up to watch their little legs run. Then, we put them back in the leaves.
Unless we found them in our back woods, Mom wouldn’t let us bring them home, because box turtles would just make a bee-line back to where they came from.
