Does any one keep snapping turtles?
My question is: those of you who keep snappers, what is the best way to accommodate requirements of an aquatic turtle that can reach 25+" and way 100lbs+? I may release him, but I’m not sure how well he would make it. He is currently less than 2" wide and is on the same diet as my other "patient" which includes:Freeze dried river shrimp, pellet, earthworms, meal worms, tuffies(minnows), zucchini, cucumber, and crickets. |

But it may vary depending on the indivisual because of diet or genetics |

In the meantime I know people who have them in preformed ponds inside or out. They are cute while they are small |

the girth of the tail at the shell. Wider tail at shell means male. The distance of the waste disposal unit on the tail is the over riding determination on male or female. The further down the tail it is....The more likely it is a Male snapper.  |
