It can't. When submerged, they hold their breath.
Some turtles can stay underwater for days at a time without taking a breath, as long as the water stays cold. answered by Yahoo

Alligator Snapping Turtles ( M temminckii) are not indigenous to South Carolina. There is actually very little cooberating evidence of any being captured in South Carolina. The Alligator Snapping Turtle is often confused with the Common Snapping Turtle (C serpentina). The Alligator Snapping Turtle is threatened in it's native habitat, and is protected under several Federal and State laws.
Land Turtle because a sea turtle can breathe under water and a land turtle can not breathe under water. So similar to the sea turtle is a land turtle.
A sea turtle adapts by eating kelp and fish.A sea turtle is a truly amazing reptile with many different adaptations. One of its adaptations is its hard shell. The shell protects a sea turtle like a shield from many predators. Another adaptation that a sea turtle has is its flippers. A sea turtle's flippers help it swim smoothly. They are also built for digging in the sand. A sea turtle has a very interesting adaptation near its eyes. There is a gland that helps release salt from the ocean. So, on land, it looks like a sea turtle is crying. Without these adaptations, sea turtles may not survive in the wild.they eat kelp
Lakes, rivers, and streams. They should not be kept as pets under any conditions.
They have all organs like we do. Eyes, heart, lungs, stomach etc.
Turtles have lungs, not gills. They don't breathe underwater. When they dive, they hold their breath.
Usually only alligator snappers do, but I found a normal baby snapper in the water once
they can live in any habitat you want them to be in but make a place for them to bask under the heat lamp make shure you put deep enough water cause turtles can only swallow under water but not to deep of water cause they can drown . i also have a snapping turtle named snappy. but i don't know if its a common snapping turtle or a Florida snapping turtle. please help answer that question for me i had posted that question but no one want answer it snappers don't care what environment there in they just want food that's the only thing that makes em happy
About 500 years.
The good thing about a baby snapping turtle is that they dont like to bask so u dont need a light. U should set the tank up with a rock and a piece of lettuce, or some kind of water plants so that the baby snapper can hide under it
Feeding snapping turtles can stay underwater for a few hours. They can stay under so long because they do not need to burn oxygen to make their own heat because they are cold-blooded. Metabolizing oxygen at a very low rate is the key to a turtle's ability to stay underwater for long periods. For example, during winter hibernation, a turtle will bury himself in the mud at the bottom of a pond or lake. The water surrounding the turtle will remain at about 39 degrees F and will not freeze, allowing the turtle to extract oxygen from the water. The turtle's heart will only beat one time every 10 minutes during hibernation.Please sight a reference before putting inane remarks here. Snapping turtles are a fascination of of mine because of their unique pulmonary systems (easily the most efficient in the world).
up to two hoursNormally, an alligator can stay underwater for up to 30 minutes. However, if they need to stay under longer because they are hiding from some danger, they can last up to 2 hours before coming up for air.
