hello, today i found as to what i thing is a baby snapping turtle mostly because of the long tail but anyways i was wondering about there feeding habits, i caught it at about 2 or 3 pm and put it in a tank with water and a rock that it can be dry on and put out lettuce worms ham and turkey but it hasn't eaten anything can u help me out?
@deathfrets get small reptile food from the pet store .. you can identify a snapping turtle by the long their pointy shell near their rear feet .. if it looks like it has about 5 or so points instead of a rounded shape then it is mostly a snapper. Also snappers have long necks and sharp hands and feet ..
@deathfrets your trtle is an aqatic one,and therefore can only eat underwater.a snapper will quietly glide up underneath anything floating,and attack from the blind spot.they will forage and hunt anyliving thing,and scavenge any meat.
how long does it take for common snapping turtles to get to the size of a adult fist?!?!?!?!? please answer i want to know because i have 7 snappers of my own!!!
@cherd1971 If you are looking for a common snapper, you can buy them from online turtle sellers like the Turtle Shack or The Turtle Source. That's what I did. If you are looking for an alligator snapper, check turtle forums. Sometimes people post ads selling them. But be prepared. Both types get huge; alligator snappers live a hundred years or more and can weigh over 200 lbs.
i cant tell if my turtle is a snapping trtle or not, i saved it from my lax field and it was far away from water not moving, so i took it home to feed it, but i wont eat the turtle food, i fed him a bunch, he just wont eat, everyday i try and he still wont eat. he has an orange stomach with a black strip in the middle,he has sortof a lumpy edge on his shell, can someone help me out???
Same thing happend to me. im not sure wut turtle it was but it is exactly like ur description. i tried to feed it worms bugs and regular turtle food and it would't eat neither
i found out its a red bellied slider, and they eat like small plants/ vegetation if you needed to know(its odd they are called red bellied if they can vary from red to a bright orange)
@ sugarbabe24545 i realized that i honestly dont remember why i said that cause it was like five years ago but im retarded and its obviously a snapper .. dont know what i was thinking
They are fine till they get about 2 months then your in for it lol my little bowser used to eat 1 worm a day and be easy with it and scared now he shreds 2-3 med minnows a day and from my hand he just dont care anymore
This is a weird question but i will like to know where do you get the worms? i dont have many in my garden and i can find in animal shops.. anwyays ^^ cute turtles ^^
i just found one in the river a baby and took it. it doesnt look like the aligator snapping turtle but the shell has ridges but the head is oval noise very lil pointy. what kinda of turtle do i have?:)
wat state do u live in? cuz if the live in florida its most likely a florida oceanly snapping turtles or its just a common snapping turtle cuz when common snappers are baby they hav ridges like that on there shell and there nose is a little pointy check my youtube page to see wat one looks like it is my very first video
@fuckyourmother555 i found mine swimming in the wisconsin lake. he wont eat yet though, he still has his egg tooth on his nose, he wont eat worms or ants, so right now im trying lettuce
@jaimetheskater1 i researched it and theyre not supposed to eat 4-5 days after hatching so a couple days after i found him he started eating grubs from the bait shop. he loves em
i would guess it would have to be deep enough. heard they bury them selves in the mud low enough below the water freeze line. but don't quote me on that. just what i've heard.
just put it into a good size tub of mud... put the mud up high enough that it will be able to breath, then put water in so that theres about a half inch of water over the mud... and then put it in a cold place like your garage.... check on it in a few days
thats seens risky....r u supposed to just leave it alone without food....and will the mud freeze in the garage cause i live in upstate NY and its freezing
well if you put it in mud and water and put it in your room he'll burry himself, he might not hybernate if he is not inspired, if he hasn't already, he probably won't... nothing serious... What kind turtle do you have?
If some1 can send me 1-2 n garentee me get it alive id pay u for it an give u a lil extra plz let me kno

@wuggshine You don't know anything about turtles do you?
That is a snapper, the shell is pointy..
If it was a red eared slider or a painted turtle,
It would have a flat shell(not pointy)...

hibernating? how, mine doesnt and how do u know??
spikedude2091 4 years ago
just put it into a good size tub of mud... put the mud up high enough that it will be able to breath, then put water in so that theres about a half inch of water over the mud... and then put it in a cold place like your garage.... check on it in a few days
DK57JH32 4 years ago
thats seens risky....r u supposed to just leave it alone without food....and will the mud freeze in the garage cause i live in upstate NY and its freezing
spikedude2091 4 years ago
well if you put it in mud and water and put it in your room he'll burry himself, he might not hybernate if he is not inspired, if he hasn't already, he probably won't... nothing serious... What kind turtle do you have?
DK57JH32 4 years ago
common snapper about 2 yrs
