How do you get rid of snapping turtles?
If you can't drain your pond and round them up, fish for them. Because snapping turtles eat about anything, they can be caught on a hook and heavy line using catfish bait. Chicken livers or gizzards or some cut up fish will work. Tie the line to a jug or heavy float and run another line to shore so they can be reeled in. Ask if anyone locally has fished for them for more tips. And, most importantly, find out if anyone wants them to eat. If you're going to the trouble of catching them, why not go all the way and put them to use? There are some folks who will run over you to get their paws on turtle meat. Good luck.

What kind of habitat should snapping turtles live in?
Chelydra serpentina
The Snapping Turtle can grow to a very large size, 20-40 cm on average. It's shell is dark brown, rough and usually covered in algae. The Snapping Turtle can be found in waters ranging from slow moving rivers to stagnate ponds. Although this turtle has received a bad reputation for allegedly biting swimmers and eating baby ducks in reality it is very shy in the water and will retreat from anything except lunch. On land, when threatened it will live up to it's reputation by snapping and hissing while standing on all fours and rocking back and forth. Basically Snapping Turtles eat carrion, their reputation for killing baby ducks could only come from an over abundance or a number of sick baby ducks and only when the Snappers' other food resources are depleted.
