Snapping Turtles

I don't know how it would be expressed in foot pounds or "ergs", but I do know that an adult (24" carapace) snapping turtle can snap a broom handle in half with no problem - I have seen it myself.

Snapping turtles only live in fresh or brackish water. They prefer water bodies with muddy bottoms and abundant vegetation because concealment is easier.

Biomes: freshwater lake, freshwater rivers

^ Conservation/Biodiversity

Status: no special status.

Snapping turtle populations are not close to extinction or even threatened. Habitat destruction could pose a danger to snapping turtle populations at a later time. Some individuals are killed for food which does impact the population, but in a very minor way.

Turtles hibernate in the winter. They bury themselves deep in the mud and stay there until spring comes.

Yes it will ive seen it with my own eyes but they wont eat a dead mouse

yes they do

no

snapping turtles have teeth so they can protect themselves and their eggs

Painted turtles usually have horizontal stripes running down their neck. Snapping turtles are drab in color. The maximum size of a Painted turtle is 10 inches. The maximum size for a snapper is between 20 and 30 inches. Snapping turtles cannot withdraw their heads, whereas Painted turtles can close up almost completely.

almost 70m long! it is amazing how extreme the prorportions of the animal kingdom are.

I don't believe so... they are carnivorous. They need meat for protein. That is why they eat fish and other small creatures.

of course. the neck gets you to talk through your vocal cords which then splits your throat in half although,some people don't die from getting snapped in the neck if the doctor said it could be a normal x ray but still i doubt you will live.

Use a gun and make sure to get the skin not the shell (that would be messy).

come up behind it and have someone hold its mouth shut while you (or another person) either shoots it, rips off its shell, or beats it with a hammer or any other object.

personally i don't like killing animals and i was really sad while writing this.

I came across this and had to answer.Unless you're starving and going to eat it,you don't kill it."Kill it jed,itsa gettin' way!" "I am a feared!" And if youre SO SAD to tell him how to kill it,then why did you.Though I'm sure his rednecked pea brain would've figured out a way eventually."Jed i only gots one finga left,what i do now?" ''Try pokin' him again!" Stupid.

Yes.

i got this from off the internet cause i have one when born hatc lings they are 2 inches in the first two years they are 4 to 5 inches than what i hate is in 20 years they get to 12 inches but they get way way way bigger than 12 inches

Yes

Snapping turtles hibernate

You can tell when a baby snapping turtle is dieing when it does not move at all for five minutes and a liquid poors slowly out of its mouth.

Snapping Turtles will snap because it is their way of protecting themselves from enemies and their prey. The animals and their prey, therefore get scared and leaving the turtle alone. It is in their nature for snapping turtles to snap.

All i know is a Snapping Turtles Habitat and if this isn't what you are looking for then i am sorry. They like to live in freshwater and mucky swampy places. They like places with mucky bottoms because they are better concealed. I hope this helped! :)

What you should do, is just be paitent and wait. eventualy, the thing your feeding your snapper will die,(if not already dead), or the snapper will eat it. while i writing this, I'm looking ant my snapper and a tadpole i just cought for him , and i am dying to see how he'll eat it or how he'll kill it. All he's doing is sitting on top of it. BORING!!!!!

Around the end of spring

I would probally think they would

No. Female Alligator snapping turtles are larger than male Alligator Snappers.
