Yes they can. I used to fish them and it is impossible to get the hook out. However they get easily frightened, I know this from experience because I was out canoeing one day and I tipped into a swarm of snapping turtles, and I was scared I rushed back onto the canoe when a nearby friend told me that they ran away and were as scared as me. So if you see a snapping turtle, don't be scared and don't look stupid like I did. In addition snapping turtles can only live in small lakes and rivers.

Most snapping turtles don't like to bask often, especially at a young age due to their vulnerability to predators in the wild. As long as the turtle is swimming normally, eating, and coming up for air it should be ok. A good site to find out more about snapping turtles is Austins Turtle Page.

Can snapping turtles swim?

I would not reccommend swimming with the snapping turtles. You can safely swim in a pond or river that has snapping turtles living in it. Snapping turtles bite if you get too close, though, and their jaws are very strong. A snapping turtle could bite your finger off. So swim away, but don't get too close to the turtles!
