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.

Common snapping turtle
I ordered a baby common snapping turtle and couldn’t be happier with my purchase! He arrived smoothly and comfortable. I had a few questions along the way and they were answered way quicker than I expected. This is a great company and I plan on buying more

Baby Common Snapping Turtle
Our Baby Snapping Turtle arrived in Texas, alive and healthy. Delivery came sooner than expected and we couldn't wait to open the box. Little Guy (or girl) had clear eyes, all digits, super long tail and great coloring. The baby ate right away (within 24 hrs) and has a super chill demeanor (subject to change, LOL). Thank you for the starter food. We look forward to many years of working with this little guy. We will definitely be ordering more companions in the near future. Thank You, Michael & Eugene
