Would an one year old snapping turtle eat a baby painted turtle?
Not right away. once the snapping turtle exceeds 5 inches, their bite starts to hurt so you should probably separate the two turtles at that point. Snapping turtles also get very large compared to most turtles so when the snapping turtle gets to be an adult it gets aggressive towards most things.Even as a young snapper they still have a powerful bite! As witnessed, it's safe to say that this is not recommended. The turtles are very curious to movement, any movement of any time for that matter. They think it is food and will likely bite the other turtle. Plus, in the wild majority of snapper's diets are other turtles!and don't always trust wikianswers they lie and this might not even be the real answer i was allowed to change it and this isn't even real!!!
