A new snapping turtle in the family?

Wow a snaping turtle they shur can bite hard I hope they dont plan of feeding it baby birds I would give it mice now it seems there no real diff between them but to me its a huge diff also to the life span.

Thats not really fair to say. Remember people here may like rats or mice more then birds. Any animal is a good meal for a snapper & a variety is best, regardless how cute the soon to be dinner may be..

Well I shur could not handle giving an animal live food unless there bugs altho I did have a sugar glyder and gave it baby mice becuase they where dead already and NOT moving.

Are snapers from Australia?

no difference between a bug & a mouse, rat or bird. Its still breaths & feels pain.

The Common Snapping turtle is found in Canada & USA. The Alligator Snapping turtle is found in the USA & the Flordia Snapping turtle is also found in the USA.

Well for me there is a HUGE difference between the life spans and the feelings,Intelegince and even how smart they can become to a humane.

Shur they all feel pain but there is a completly HUGE!!! diff between a mouse and a bug.

I've given her the info. Thanks a lot. I'm sure its a common, it looks just like every other snapper here. Boy I believe, but I couldn't see it well in the light.

Do you know how to check a Snapper to see what sex it is? Just hope he doesn't flash you hehehe its NOT a pretty sight

Well, I'm certainly no expert and with snappers its hard to tell because they all have long tails, but the vent opening on males is supposed to be past the edge of the carapace is it not? Either way, doesn't matter to us.
