You must have a lid on an aquarium holding a snapping turtle and an open area between the lid and the water surface to allow it to breathe.
I wouldn't recomend it, I think your turtle wouldn't grow, and then die, I had a turtle that did that once, it wasn't a snapping turtle though
Small fish, weeds and others things
A Lee does
small insects that you would find in a stream or creek
No. The jaws are too small to encompass a human's leg to break the bone.
they are scavengers but they eat fish and other things like crawfish and small snakes.
They originally eat small fish or ducks when they have a chance
A common full-grown snapping turtle eats fish, meat, insects, and plants.
Squirt is a really cute name for a baby turtle. My friend has a baby snapping turtle, and when you just hear the name you think of a baby that's small. At least I do.
yes keeping
The difference between a female snapping turtle and a male snapping turtle is the difference in their tales. Each snapping turtle has a small cirlce looking shape on theie tale. If it is a female snapping turtle, it's circle will be closer to the shell (or the butt) an if it is a male snapping turtle, the circle will not neccesarily be at the end of the tail, but it is certainly not near the shell (or butt). With most snapping turtles, it should be obvious, but with some, it is hard to tell, especially if their newborns (a week old or younger).
snapping turtles are the easiest to care for, but they grow to be huge, so unless you plan on digging a small pond for it then a Mississippi mud turtle or any in that family are also very good trurtles.
Yes, but they are very hard to skin and clean.
