Axle will be 8yrs old at the end of July!!! I remember when he was the size of a Canadian Toony (just a bit larger then a quarter), its amazing how big hes getting!! The person recording his growth, is amazed that he just wont stop growing!! I keep making his meals further & further apart, to slow his growth, but I cannot go past 2 weeks & he still grows like a monster!!!!! :eek:

Hey there, Axle! Be careful you don't grow bigger than your mom!

Jess, we've seen bigger snappers than Axle stomping along the bottom of the Charles River on a clear day! They look positively prehistoric!

Hehehe... Turtle experts are thinking hes is a rare Giant Common Snapping Turtle & thats why he has health issues when he was a hatchling. his body needs a higher protein & fat content then a regular snapper. They think he'll reach 100lbs with ease!! They normally only get to 50-70lbs.
