Is it illegal to have a pet snapping turtle even if its a baby?
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.

Aquatic turtles, such as snapping turtles and red-eared sliders, live for several decades, and can potentially outlive human beings.

I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't. Sorry. Sea turtles can live even longer; it is not unusual for them to live well past 100 years old.
