Best Answer

Adult snapping turtles can stay under water for 40-50 minutes. I have a baby snapper and he stays under for about 10-15 minutes. I know he can hold his breath for longer but it is really just a choice thing. If a snapping turtle knows that a potential predator is near by then he may stay down for 20 minutes or more. If a baby snapper is comfortable with his environment then he may leave his head above water or come up every minute or so.

Baby red-eared sliders... well for starters, don't worry about them

drowning underwater. Just give them enough water so that

their head is above the water. As long as they have some rocks

on the side so that they can bask, you're good. =)
