Like Yellow said, my turtle is a meat eater (but he does love veggys & fruit aswell, but his main diet is meat) & the one u want is a veggy/fruit eater only...

I have 1 thing to say to u.. Thank u for asking about the turtle first & not after u got him, because u & him/her could have been screwed... But if u still want to get one make sure u give it more space then the pet store tells u to. Or maybe u can get one from rescue, that might be best...

but u still need to think a while on it & learn sooo much more about them, cause if their harder to take care of then my snapper, then I wouldn't want one...

Yellow, r u sure it was a common snapping turtle? cause Aligator snappers get to approx 100yrs in the wild & in captivity... if my memory serves me right Commons in the wild live under 50 & in captivity avg out to 50 yrs... but I still don't care how long he'll live, he's going in my will...

... but I have a midterm to do so I gotta study, chat more about this later
