I'm the only person on here who owns a Common Snapping Turtle as a pet. Welcome to being #2!!!

I hope you understand what your getting into. Feeding them is gross, well as at first anyway.

Axle was no bigger then a Canadian Loonie when I got him. & he's now 4 years old & weighs 15 pounds.

2 months old



& now


Last year he was able to eat 6 full grown mice at one sitting (I don't feed him that much often, only as a big treat)

Ur little guy needs to eat daily & he needs to eat new born mice. He needs the whole body to get all the vitamins he needs. When he gets to about 5 pounds start him on vitamin suppliments. Cause when he gets to about 10 pounds he can start having problems walking. I didn't know this & found out the hard way. Luckly Axle doesn't walk around often so the vitamins were able to build up his bones again, so he could walk around outta water.

I'm starting up a reptile forum. If you ask questions there I'll reply to them.

link is under my pics. just pm me on here if u r gonna post something on my forum.
