Your baby snapping turtle would have night and day in the wild, so in your terrerium, it also needs darkness, but the tank still needs to maintain the same temperature. You can get heat globes that don't generate light, so a good idea might be to have a light emitting one also, and to switch them over at night time, so your turtle has a healthier environment and better chance of survival.
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
boy-toby girl-claudia i called mine "slow" mo.
at the beach but dig holes to find them trust me i am like a marine biologist.
Don't worry. But only give him/her bananas as a treat.
it is not normal. got to the pet store and ask them whats wrong. make sure to take your baby turtle. Good luck. tell the turtle i like his mysterious ways.
For a tiny, tiny baby turtle, that is just fine. But an adult turtle needs a much, much bigger tank than that. An adult turtle needs a 20-gallon tank (30 inches long and 12 inches wide).
probably not its not a good idea. the beta fish and the snapping turtle would fight each other till the detah. and the turtle would end up winning
take raw shrimp and chop it into small bits and feed to the turtle. you can also replace the shrimp with fish or crab.
nope. The eggs are left in the sand in the beach. the mama goes back to her own life, and the turtle babies? they don't have a very good future, now do they
That would depend on what is wrong with it. Keep it warm, keep the water clean, make sure there is a fresh supply of food. If there is inflammation to the eyes, drops can be purchased over the counter at a pet supply. There are also water additives that can be purchased for various minor ailments. If it is lethargic or it last more than just a day or two, than consider taking it to the vet. Always remember to wash your hands thoroughly after handling any reptile, healthy or not. They are known to sometimes carry salmonella bacteria.
