You're going to need a lot more than an aquarium for a snapper... so might as well start off right. An aquarium just isn't going to last long enough to be worth the money. It's time to start redoing your spare bedroom for your "little" friend. He's not going to be little for long.

If you have a snapper with the intent of keeping it in an aquarium, stop dreaming. Build a pond. You'll literally need a room of your house if you don't want the thing to suffer. You'll need a gentle slope that rises out of the water for basking. You'll need uva AND uvb bulbs (zoo med and exo terra make that sort of thing- buy it off amazon). If the bulb is under $40, it's the wrong bulb. Without this lighting, your pet WILL die a slow, painful death of metabolic bone disease.
