no, it is illegal.
I wouldn't know too much about the law in New York, (I'm in Canada) but where I live it's legal to own a turtle. But it's Illegal to sell them without a permit. Snapping urtles aren't much different.
Alligator snapping turtles are not universally illegal; their legal status varies by region. In some states in the U.S., they are protected due to declining populations and are illegal to harvest or possess without a permit. However, in other areas, they may be regulated but not fully protected. Always check local laws and regulations for specific guidelines regarding alligator snapping turtles.
An alligator is not a pet. Leave that to a zoo.
Efforts to protect alligator snapping turtles include habitat conservation, legal protections, and breeding programs. Many states have implemented regulations to limit hunting and capture, while organizations are working to restore and preserve their natural habitats. Additionally, research initiatives aim to monitor population health and educate the public about the species' ecological importance. Conservationists are also advocating for improved water quality in their habitats to support their survival.

In most states, no. A few states do prohibit some species or all species of snapping turtle from being kept as pets. They are most commonly prohibited in states where they are not naturally occurring, due to fear that pet owners will tire of them and release them into the environment. This fear is probably justified - snapping turtles can grow quite large, must be handled with great care, and require significant effort and expense to maintain, which makes them poor pets, generally. If you are in doubt whether snapping turtles are legal in your state and don't want to pay a lawyer to look it up, you might contact a seller. They often know which states allow snapping turtles as pets or not.
it is illegal to have an alligator as a pet in almost every state except its native states.
