That makes sense to me, except for one thing. By holding the back of the turtle (I assume you mean near the hind legs), wouldn't you still be vulnerable to the animal's rear claws? I got a nasty scratch the other day from them, and I'd rather not add to the collection. (And I disinfected, no worries.)

Perhaps I just misunderstood where you intended the turtle to be held. The method definitely works for avoiding the head.
