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.
How long do a turtle has to stay in water?
Sea turtles can stay under water for almost their whole life! One of the only times they come out of the water is when they are going to lay there eggs because they lay there eggs on land and leave them and then the babies have to find there way back to sea all by themselves. Most of them get eaten by seagulls on their way so that's why there are not so many sea turtles... Most of them get eaten.
