1 The Turtles of Alcatraz Pond
10/3/11
Turtleman receives news that one of his top rescue ponds is scheduled to be bulldozed in a matter of hours. But this isn't just any rescue pond. Nicknamed "Alcatraz," it's where he has released the 12 most ferocious snapping turtles he's ever encountered.
2 Dirty Jobs
11/6/11
A farmer's cows are being attacked when cooling off in the stock pond, emerging with missing utters. All signs lead to a group of snapping turtles, and Ernie is happy to jump on the case. The catch: the pond is overflowing with cow manure and bacteria.

11/6/11
Turtleman faces his match with a critter that has the perfect defense against his barehanded tactics-the skunk. Barricading himself beneath layers of armor is Turtleman's only chance if he wants to escape the noxious fumes of these trigger-happy skunks.

8 The Snake Pit

Turtleman hears of a job in North Carolina - a man's duck pond is being terrorized by turtles. Just a routine job until he finds out this call has come from David Ragan, one of the biggest stars of Turtleman's favorite sport-NASCAR.

I'm sure this will get deleted! Only because this is the truth! I know Ernie! He lives in town! Not out in boondocks like they want you to believe! And, all the animals in his shows have been caught by him, friends and even my uncle long b4 the show! He puts the animals in the houses or barns! Then acts like he just seen them! Or, they just showed up from nowhere! Only thing that's real about the show is he can catch animals with his hands #turtles. He needs to send some of that money he has made to his kid

I don't understand why America has taken to this redneck craze. Missing teeth, poor grammar, and acting ridiculous is not fabulous. Whatever happened to Steve Irwin?

Easily a 5 star show keeping it clean for all ages.Keep up the great work Turtle Team.I like the message you put out, you should only kill an animal for food or at the last choice to defend your self or someone. Anyone who can endure the spray of a skunk and not want to cause harm to it.You really get my respect.I hope to see more seasons. Good work Turtleman!
