Product Description
One of North America's most recognizable fully aquatic Turtles, the Common Snapping Turtle, inhabits nearly all bodies of slow moving, soft bottomed water, fresh and brackish, from Nova Scotia to Mexico, east of the Rocky Mountains. In Florida it gives way to the Florida Snapping Turtle.
Common Snapping Turtles are true omnivores, and will eat anything they can fit into their mouths. Juveniles freely forage for food, while adults prefer to be ambush predators, lying in wait for the next passing meal. These tendencies make all sizes excellent tank turtles. Not the best community turtles, juvenile Common Snapping Turtles think everyone's tail is a worm - and will promptly remove them - even other snappers'. We feed ours pellets, cut fish and beef. Water plants are also offered. One study has shown hatchlings to imprint well on early food items.
In the last century, people's taste for Common Snapping Turtles, severely damaged many wild populations. Now, many are farm raised, both in the US and abroad. Wild Snapping Turtles are almost always quite vicious. Captive raised snappers, if handled often, will tame down fairly well. They never loose their fiercely vicious feeding response, and keepers never seem to loose their fascination for them...
Please note that California, Oregon and Washington state do not allow Snapping Turtles to be kept by individuals - so we cannot send Snapping Turtles to those states without special permits. New York State allows Florida Snapping Turtles - but not Common Snapping Turtles.

Incredible little Snapper!
This little snapper looks exactly as amazing as the advertised picture! They are still very small as hatchlings and you can pick them up by the back of the shell with two fingers gently to move them. Fits in the palm of your hand. The ridges they have on their shells make them looks like such awesome little prehistoric critters. TurtleSource did a fantastic job with packing and shipping these little ones, without a doubt the turtle was not going to end up injured in the transit. It was nice and cool, plenty of air and cushion. I am absolutely impressed!

Very pleased with my purchase!
I ordered my common snapper 7/9 and received it the very next day 7/10. I'm very pleased with my experience. It came in good shape with a decent sized baggy of food. Within just a few hours my turtle was very curious about interaction with people. It has made itself at home. I definitely recommend getting your turtles from the turtle source!
