  • Dude... Bowser is a fucken BEAST...!!!! Is he an alligator snapping turtle...?

  • @Penguin1787 I'm pretty sure he is a common snapping turtle. Bowser never displayed the worm-tongue, lie-in-wait style of hunting that is characteristic of alligator snappers.

  • Fish: hello camera

  • How often do you feed him? I must know lol. My lil guy always seems hungry but i just got told he is eatin too much

  • @gothikafan I ended up feeding him about 6 times per month. He also always seemed ravenous... but his growth seemed directly related to his food intake, so I fed him less to slow his growth rate since housing him was getting expensive.

  • idiot killed the lobster

  • 3:38 - 3:47

    My people need me

  • @f0r3v3rl33t I think he thought we were giving him more food.

  • fucking scavengers tryin to steal the homie turtles food like when i get a care package mother fuckers tryin to take it hahaha

  • taht turtles so fking hawt

  • Crayfish: Dude, let go of me you dick. Hello? Asshole, I said let go of....whoa....I feel sleepy tired.

    Fish #1: Hey, what are you recording? Can I have camera time too? Film me!

    Fish #2: Can we have some of that?

    Bowser The Turtle: No, fuck off.

    Fish #3: Look. We're just gonna eat it anyways when you're not looking.

    Fish: #2: Yeah, it's gonna happen. We're were just being nice by asking.

    Bowser: One day I'm gonna eat all of you bitch mother fuckers. It's gonna happen.

    Fish #3: .....dick.

  • are those blennys at the bottom of the tank? also nice pumpkin seeds

  • @Robomonkey5000 I think they are some kind of freshwater goby. I caught them in the wild in a river in northern MI, but I think they are considered an 'invasive" species. They were some of my favorite fish; they could actually change color to match their background and they had cool lizard/frog faces.

  • I have a mix between a common snapper & a alligator snapping turtle u guys should check him out on my channel!!!

  • POKE ITS EYES OUT CRAYFISH

  • LOL @ the fish. They are like underwater vultures.

  • Comment removed

  • Now I want a snapping turtle.

  • This is funny that crab was Like what the heck am u doing here lol

  • (fish) 0:42 HEY HEY HEY EM I LATE?

  • A. Will it eat the fish in the tank also

    B. How much did Bowser cost when you got him?

  • @EricDaElf Yes, it will and did definitely eat the fish. Snapping turtles are not legal to keep or sell as pets in my area; I caught him in the wild.

  • now im hungry

  • its either rele hungry or u got a mean ass turtle

  • @deerhunter0996 I don't know how "mean" or "nice" wild animals can be... but he was certainly very well fed.

  • @mouserusker Did you usually find foor for him, or was it bought?

  • @callerofmusic I almost always found food for him in the wild. Frogs and crayfish made up the majority, with a handful of beetles and other bugs whenever they were handy.

  • @mouserusker Did you usually find for for him, or was it bought?

  • Cant wait to get me one of these. Gonna feed him crayfish too, gotta teach em to be hunters from the start right?

  • @blublast3 They don't really need to be "taught"... mine would only attack moving things right from day one.

  • @blublast3 Nah I would much rather have mine trained to eat pellets, which can be done from a very young age as well, turtles learn to eat new food very easily. Its harder with wild turtles but not impossible to switch them over. You can still feed them the occasional crayfish or whatever, they eat pretty much anything, but pellet food is better and cheaper and easier to feed.

  • wadda u know i like crayfish also

  • @crazypigz123 Me too; i also hear snapping turtles make good stew. Never had it myself.

  • 0:42 Fish is like, "Oh Hai there :D" lol

  • why doesn't he eat the fish around him

  • @sh0wbiz He eventually does.

  • crayfish got owned

  • What size tank is he in right now?

  • @SuperAabbcc112233 This video has him in a 90 gallon. I released him when he outgrew it, a year or two ago.

  • Bowser used BITE! Corphish (sp?) FAINTED!

  • stupid fish blocking the camera the turtle should have eaten em too...

  • @AssultMarine142 The turtle ate all... eventually.

  • @mouserusker

    I bought a reaaaaally tiny minnow to see if she would eat it, the second I dropped it into her tank it chased it down and ate it lol, I found a worm that she seemed to enjoy to.

    I figure they'd be more likely to eat fruits / veggies when they are young, thanks for your advice!

    you may have saved her life lol

  • I just found a little snapping turtle, its still small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

    Ive been giving it grapes but it dosent seem to like them, what should I feed it?

  • @f0r3v3rl33t As juveniles, they are very heavily carnivorous. mine used to like crickets and "wax worms", which are fly larvae (maggots, but farm-raised and clean) and are often sold in fishing stores as bait. Tiny crayfish can be found if you carefully look under rocks in shallow streams. Houseflys with a wing or two cut off or small minnows would also work. Variety is important, as is movement. Ground beef wiggled on a piece of string can also be used. Good luck.

  • @mouserusker L0l!! that turtle was like come at me nigga

  • its pretty cute

  • Hey man what size is this tank? I have 3 baby snappers in a 75 gallon right now. Should I put them in seperate 55 gallons?

  • @STProductionFilms This is a 90 gallon tank... same size as a 55, but 18 inches wide instead of 12 and several inches deeper. I think for turtles, a wide tank is better than a long narrow one. Also, snappers are REALLY MESSY! The bigger the tank, the better; and water changes are your friend. I used to change about 50 gallons per week out of the 90.

  • @mouserusker Thanks for the reply man. I plan on buying a 120 gallon here in about a week, I found some woman selling it for 300 bucks. I'm going to try to put all of my snappers in their own tanks, atleast 75 gallons each. When they are older I'm going to build a 500 gallon plywood tank for each of them, I just have to study up on how to use fiber glass lol.

  • @STProductionFilms I think an outdoor pond would be awesome for a semi-wild, semi-pet snapper. Then it could get REALLY big and eat chipmunks and squirrels... plus, no water changes!

  • @mouserusker be a good idea, aslong as you have no kids lol

  • I fucking hate mouserusker.

  • @vtjj2 Right? That guy is a total jerk!

  • blastoise used bite..corphish fainted.

  • 1:14 - 1:18 you got a problem, bitch?

  • Fish are like: Can I have it?

    Turtle: NO, FUCK OFF ITS MINE!

  • 3:00 nom nom nom

  • Are those round gobys? arent they an invading spiecies? if so by law your sappost to kill them... just saying...

  • @Bombsgalor The gobies were wild-caught here in a local river, and i do believe they are an invasive species. "By law supposed to kill them"... makes it sound like I'm supposed to be spending my free time in an anti-goby campaign snorkeling in the river. Maybe with a torch and a pitchfork or sword?

    Seriously, though: I don't worry too much about "invasive species"... they didn't come from outer space. Who are we to say where a certain species "belongs"?

  • @mouserusker its illegal to own them gobies in some states/provinces i think.

  • @dzhotdog yeah, well... so are snapping turtles, smallmouth bass, perch, bluegill and sunfish.

    I always thought it would be funny if The Man raided my house; I'd be their first bust caught trying to flush live animals down the toilet!

  • @mouserusker lol!

  • @mouserusker hahaha. That was great.

  • OW! DUDE THAT FUCKING HURTS!

  • do snapping turtles like to be alone? i hear they do but, i think they need a friend, are the okay alone or what?

  • what a feast!! he must be a happy turtle :)

  • lol fuckin fish try to ninja

  • aahhh, the darters get me every time. awesome.

  • Thats a good thing to feed em crayfish! its my turtles favourite. I found it cool how your turtle didn't snap away the pinchers first. My turtle once got one by the tail and the crayfish curled around and pinched his fave and neck. He just closed his eyes and went apeshit with his claws. When your turtle snaps does he close his eyes? After that battle mine does always

  • how come he doesn't attack the fish like he did with the frog?

  • @mauroman128 He did. They were just quicker, and so lasted several days in the tank instead of the several hours that the crayfish lasted...

  • haha i like how all the fish are watching him kill at 1:52

  • @FreeConsoleGames They wanted the scraps!

  • @mouserusker how old and big is it?

  • @mouserusker how old and big is it?

  • @FreeConsoleGames They come in for scraps and eventually turtle will learn this and wait for it and catch a fish at the same time

  • grrr...dead crawdad keeps running away from me!!! at 1:50

  • @jebova2301 I was always impressed how the crayfish would fight to the very end.

  • Wow it ate the lobster with the shell!!

  • Ohh SHit it Can eat that ? I Never fed My turtle that Cause i thought The crayfish Would Claw My turtles eyes out , btw cool Tank (:

  • @yannickTheGreat I respected the crayfish and the turtle equally. I figured that if the turtle lost an eye, it was a fair fight. The crayfish is justified in fighting for it's life. That being said, in dozens of crayfish, Bowser never got injured. Snappers are just built to tough.

  • @yannickTheGreat thanks. I was worried about the turtle at first, but this was my private nature display. In the wild, turtles eat crayfish; crayfish fight as though their lives depend on it. If the crayfish were to take out one of bowser's eyes, it would have been unfortunate, but fair. Turns out, bowser absolutely dominated everything in his path.

  • thats sickk mang

  • Now that u don't have bowser, do u even still have any turtles, I catch turtles every year I've had bout 40 res, 10 huge snappers, 6 mud turtles and 5 musk turtles, it's really cool to catch baby snappers. The ones I got now have all been ordered lol, but it's all good, I'm go crazy over turtles when I seen them in the road, I'll stop put my emergency lights on and jump out to save it, my brother says I need a turtle intervention

  • @SnappalacDeville After I released Bowser, I had a small painted turtle for about a year. He was released this summer, so I currently have no turtles living with me.

  • @runescapenerd12345 Thank you, but Bowser no longer lives with me.

  • This video is too cool bud! :D

  • @skyev117 Thanks!

  • @mouserusker Was this just a random attack or did you put the Crayfish in the tank knowing what would happen?

  • @skyev117 The crayfish were cool to watch in their own right, so I would put a dozen or so in Bowser's tank at once. Bowser would immediately kill about half of them: the other half would last less then a week. Then I would just get more. Crayfish make a great freshwater clean-up crew, so I liked having some live ones in his tank at all times, but it was a challenge to stay ahead of Bowser's appetite!

  • @mouserusker Thats real cool.... Poor Crayfish :(

  • as soon as it got snapped i heard the fish from spongebob yell "MY LEG!"

  • @mudddflappp For real or in your head? Cuz I don't remember watching spongebob...

  • @mouserusker in my head bro. it just makes me laugh hahaha

  • i feed my res them

    

  • @cheezitz1111 Crayfish are like natures MRE's... they are plentiful, prepackaged, full of nutrients, and pretty cool to watch in their own right before they become dinner. Actually, it sounds like they are better than MREs.

  • my snapers name is bowser to awsome

  • @uhsoldier How could someone not name a snapper "bowser"? It's too perfect.

  • @mouserusker I know, right? Unfortunately, I no longer have bowser. I could no longer afford to feed and house him. He ate more than I did!

  • thE fishes arE like wtF? o.O whats happening? haha

    nice vidEo

  • @DJ001mixer The fish always seemed most interested in stray bits of crayfish to eat; they never seemed to see these events as a possible glimpse of their own futures...

  • It is amazing the power they have even when they are young. The combo bit/claw is amazing!

  • @BowtechBandit He did the bite/claw thing to a feeder mouse... it was gruesome. Basically turned it inside out!

  • Fish : "Aye mayne, can I have some?"

    Turtle : "BITCH GET AWAY, THIS IS MY CRAYFISH, GTFO BEFORE I THROW MUSKAT BALLS AT YOU"

  • What kind of turtle is this.. like it's actual name.. i know its a snapping turtle.. cause i used to have one and i am really would like to get another one...

  • @Smileyp485 Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina)

  • how old was ur turtle in this video?

  • @FUNTOFALL50 About 3 years old, maybe two.

  • all the fish just watch :D

  • thats a big ass cray fish

  • beautiful

    you even have darters in the tank.

  • @elduceseven Thank you. I tried to recreate the natural environment. All those creatures are there for a reason...

  • lol i love how all the other fish come in when they smell the crayfish "mine? mine? mine? mine? mine?"

  • Damn fish at 0:41 blocking the screen. BTW, that looked pretty painful for the Crayfish. D=

  • @Kecleonfan666 I truly believe that most life on earth doesn't "feel" pain like humans do. They receive nerve impulses that tell them they are being physically damaged, but I believe it is only humans who attribute such an emotional response to "pain". A crayfish will regrow lost limbs; such an event would be so traumatic for a person that they wouldn't live through losing the limb in the first place. If wild animals were burdened by pain (as we know it), they would be unable to survive.

  • Great turtle, great name. I got a Bowser too, check out her fight with my catfish

  • @cwbrider16 That was a cool video. I like your natural-style tank. Does your snapper never attack the catfish? In my experience, it is only a matter of time...

  • those fish must b scarred for life...haha ..either scarred for life mentally ..or physically lol

  • @samGproductions Many of Bowser's tankmates were scarred for life... but that usually only amounted to a few days... :)

  • Turtles love them some crayfish ....

  • what kind of snapping turtle is it

  • Chelydra serpentina, a common snapping turtle.

  • i guess the fish help keep the tank clean

  • Just like in nature; it's a balanced system (or at least it should be).

  • i admire how the turtle went right for the meaty part of the crayfish, pound for pound the turtle is strong too. i like how it tore the pray apart

  • Die Natur ist Grausam

  • Ja, die Starke überlebt. Ich glaube, es ist das Beste.

  • Did you feed it with the goldfish?

  • I did feed goldfish, but only occasionally. A constant diet of nothing but store-bought goldfish has been proven to be nutritionally insufficient.

  • Very nice turtle

    I feed with the small fish :)

  • I think you really like Bowsers the snapping turtles

    I have one before :)

    very nice :D

  • Thank you. I did really enjoy Bowser's companionship.

  • too bad you released him back into the wild. why did u do it anyway?

  • He outgrew my budget.

    I could no longer afford to continually upgrade Bowser's tank, and his food was hard to find in the winter and expensive to buy.

  • o i see

  • jews are responsible for all the wars in the world and therefore they should be fed to turtles.

  • well i guess your unhappy with yourself and have nothing better to do you nazi.

  • Re: my earlier reply to you.

    Told you so. :)

  • Every asshole and warmonger in the history on the world has one thing in common: they were people. Humans. Just like every good person and innocent child. People are what they are. But I digress...

    Some prehistoric turtles ere big enough to eat humans. In a totally made-up fantasy world, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a violent criminal executed by giant snapping turtle. As long as the punishment somehow fit the crime...

  • @grossepointepimp shut up u fucking nazi whore. U fucking nazis are responsible if I was there during WW2 I would rip hitlers head of and feed to his own mom and take his arms and off and feed it to his own fucking children!!

  • truth is turtles love eating jews, not my fault

  • i hope that stupid monster turtle dies

  • Everything that lives dies.

    My turtle will probably never read a book or design a website, but I don't think it's fair to call him 'stupid'.

  • wow he owned that crayfish and still wasnt finish with it..lol and the fish were like "you gonna shear that?"

  • One time, I put about 20 crayfish in the tank at once. Bowser would hunt one down, kill it, and then go after another. It was a slaughter!

    He cued in on movement, so even though he had a crayfish in his mouth, he would drop it in favor of one of the other ones that were trying to get away.

  • you should throw a jew to the turtle... it would be nice to see the jew get eaten by a turtle... i know the komoto dragon's favorite food is jew.

  • fuck you you stupid racist little piece of **** for your information you fool my parents were jews and guess what bitch i'm proud of them and we don't care about you think fool

  • I agree. Bigotry of any sort is ignorant and uncool.

    However, if you respond to this guy, he'll just come back. He will like the attention.

  • the quality of the video is great, the fish was kinda unexpected though...great vid!!!

  • Thanks!

    It was taken with a Casio Exilim Z60. It's a great little camera.

  • very cool +sub +fav

  • Thank you.

  • Turtles love crayfish that's like a new york strip steak to us.

  • does that freaking fish have an eye on his stomach because thats nasty but good video i have a turtle just like that one

  • lol cool video i just got a snapping turtle yesterday and he is the size of a golf ball! and at 2:39 that fish didnt even have a chance of taking that crayfish away from Bowser!

  • Thats fish wants to be on tv lol

  • I do have a small painted turtle.

  • do you have any other turtles apart from snapping turtle?

  • i enjoyed this vid, clean tank, good action and camera work, better than alot of the other boring crap on here, good work, keep posting them

  • Thank you for the compliments.

  • your turtle doesnt eat those fish

  • He eats every one he can catch. Only a very few fish survived a stay with Bowser. An eel, a bass, and a sunfish or two made it. Many, many things didn't.

    The quick, smart ones lived.

  • how do u keep tha water so clean? when my turtle eats a crayfish... there is so MUCH mess that it clouds tha water...

  • Actually, I do very little for water quality.

    I think the biggest factor is that it's a fairly large (90 gallon) tank.

    Also, I don't feed him all that often.

  • try using a huge filter. I use an askoll 400 with 1300 liters an hour capacity for just 150 liters of water. the water is crystal clear.

  • My biggest problem has always been brown/yellow water from the tannins in the natural, uncured wood I used for decoration. I don't even really consider it a problem, since all of the streams and most of the lakes in this area are the same color as my tank for the same reasons.

  • mmmmm lobster lol

  • im pretty shure bowser eats any thing he can catch or at least try

  • i absolutely love Bowser! i have a common snapper just like him maybe alil smaller but just like Bowser he turns n to a beast!!! great vids man =)

  • r thos fish blugill or sunfish

  • I think they are sunfish, but we have both up here, and they interbreed, so it's hard to be sure.

  • im loving how...because this is a crayfish and not say....a mouse... people arent complaining about your turtle tearing into it. If it was a mouse gaurenteed the PETA nuts would be on here calling you a monster and hoping something would eat you xD
