Wow - that's extremely intriguing that you such an exotic animal! I'm not sure if I'd be the best owner for one, but I'd love to meet one! She's beautiful. I thought she was a stuffed toy at first! LOL :eek:

Thanks.
Wow now that's neat. I know people with pet tortoises but not snapping turtles. I've seen a few displayed and have a great picture of this huge old one but as far as I know not kept as pets in the same sense as your's getting to run around the house and yard, even if in the house is more of accidents due to escape, lol.
Pua figured out how to unlatch he cage so had to start latching and bolting it but then she got it open that way so have to padlock it when gone. Don't want her waking up and slipping out the pet door. She has a great homing instinct and when it's nice and have her out she comes right back to my door. But she is also more inclined to just curle up where she is when tired and come back later if it were up to her so she would die from hypothermia. Not to mention all the other problems with a tamandua at large in a neighborhood!
That's the reason Tamanduas are rare too. They are so sweet tempered and easy potty habbits but they are considered delicate to keep healthy. So I did tones of research especialy into diet.
