Snapping turtles can be seen engaging in aggressive behavior or fighting, especially during mating season when males may compete for females. However, if the turtles are in close proximity and interacting gently, they are likely engaged in mating behavior rather than fighting. Observing their body language and movements can help determine their intent, as fighting typically involves more aggressive posturing.

Turtles may pat each other on the face during social interactions or to establish dominance within their group or territory. This behavior can also be observed during mating rituals or when one turtle is trying to communicate a specific message to another turtle.
Snapping turtles reproduce through external fertilization, with males engaging in courtship displays to attract females. During mating, the male climbs onto the female's shell and aligns their bodies for copulation. After mating, the female lays eggs in a nest dug into the ground, typically in sandy or loose soil, and can lay anywhere from 20 to 50 eggs at a time. The eggs incubate for about 70 to 90 days before hatching, depending on environmental conditions.
