When they get too big for the house you can sell them. See Edbassmaster's video for tips.

[Bessie12347]

[buzzedproductions]

"These are the common snapping turtles which are very commom"

[snakeboy96]

common snapping turtles are more common than alligator snapping turtles! no way! maybe..just maybe... thats why the call them common snapping turtles!

[Necr0Cys2topsY]

I want the spikey ones, looks badass.

[JokerSpongebob]

@Necr0Cys2topsY

You should order one online!

Thats what I Did

[B0DawGH]

40 years? i doubt it. you look 40-ish. but because of your beer belly and those ugly beards.. yeah you look 60

[xredsox96x]

Thats an alligator snapping turtle in the video not a common snapper idiot alligator snappers have rough shells and common snappers shells flatten out as they get older

[7am35]

why do i get the feeling he has indecent on his laptop?

[TecWithMe]

"They are carnivorous but they also eat plants." That's called an omnivore, dumb ass.

[bbphnix]

@TecWithMe not sure that's true; would you call a dog or a cat omnivorous? because I've seen dogs eat grass in an attempt to sure ailments and I heard cats do it too;

it makes sense: they will SOMETIMES, rarely, eat plants... mostly other critters

[TecWithMe]

@bbphnix Therefore the are omnivorous. And yes I would call a dog omnivorous, I feed my dog carrots and tomatoes all the time. This animal is a facultative herbivore. Which means that it eats over 90% meat but they do eat some plants.

[dapperdan3rd]

@TecWithMe Its a facultative carnivore, which means it eats "mostly meat" fucking retards, before commenting make sure your right lest you look arrogant and ignorant.

[MalchikBlue]

@TecWithMe I've seen my cat eat grass, that doesn't change it's primary, defining diet, dumb ass.

[twillis10]

@TecWithMe They are classified as carnivorous. Its not just about what they eat. Just like panda bears are carnivores, even though they eat almost entirely plants, dumb ass.

[zillatamer]

@TecWithMe they dont refer to animals as omnivorus if they only eat a select few plant species, as meat makes up well over 90% of their diet. Dumbass.

[CrossoverBeast]

@TecWithMe you mad Bruh?

[tomojock52]

@TecWithMe no reason to be mean

[MrWiKeD653]

were would i be able to adcuire a alligator snaper

[yavin99]

@MrWiKeD653 thier all over the US just take a net to a local pond or creak and scoop one up

[iEATkids44]

put ur finger into thier mouth, its safe :D

[TheSpottedReptile]

He sadi that the smaller ones are better becuase the have more of an attitude~.~

[dogofdogs]

i love the alligator snapping turtle, but they are not alowed in europe,

[renton1664]

@dogofdogs They are in the UK.

[1234awsome1]

where do you buy them any sugestions

[jgong8638]

@1234awsome1 I've never seen anyone selling them. Go catch one. I have one as a pet in a tank with all sorts of critters I caught. An Eel, Bullfrogs, 7 Madtom Catfish, Sunfishes and crayfish. They are all so fun to watch. I just have to make sure I feed them at least every other day. 60 worms yesterday LOL

[thePURPLEROZE22]

that thing is huge

[athikerguy4life]

don't keep one unless you can handle them. they get huge..

[afterthefox7]

He looks exactly like a snapping turtle.

[axelnemeth]

@SatanGinger666

Yeah, well us,Alligator Snapper owners,don't usually wiggle our dicks into the aquarium.

[godcarcass]

@axelnemeth nice response cracked me the hell up, idk why he would mention a dick, but its ur hands nd shit u gotta watch

[nblax41]

I like how he talks about the common snapper and they keep showing an alligator snapper

[ShotaAzZareback]

more common of the two...hahaha..i guess thats why they call em common then huh!^_^ great vid though!helped me a lot with my turtles..

[mmcclain88]

i found this huge full grown snapping turtle in my back yard.its rare to see any turtle outside where i live, so to see this giant thing was a little shocking. it got stuck in the fence and it took a while to get it out because no one wanted to get next to it

[mwr0domination]

btw ---->TIM COLE FTW<----

[mwr0domination]

it wants to kiss us

[yannickTheGreat]

if my snapping turtle ever gets that big like he said, shit i'll put him in a kiddy pool , lol 

[victorias9459]

Awwwwww :D

[1sababoy]

Rule#1 for care and feeding of Alligator Snapping Turtles... keep your damn hands out of the way! Trust me, I owned one and am typing this message with my nose. ;-)

[JeyRulezDooD]

@1sababoy howd you capitalize the AST in Alligator Snapping Turtles?

[MyDearLovedOne]

@1sababoy How did you make the number logo with your nose xD

[MrSammydude123]

@1sababoy lololololololol

[OtherWay1984]

Wooo you have to public a video of your instalations!!!

[petrif1ed]

These expert village videos are always SO AWKWARD LOL

[grasshop34]

Check out my cute live baby turtle that performs a magic trick on my channel!

LIVE MAGIC TURTLE VIDEO - check it out

[PoppinCheese]

fuuuuuuck that

i like turtles but this aint a turtle, its some weird alien thing

[TONYEB132]

i wander who would buy a 200 pound alligator snapper for their house

[slickxrick1am]

cant fu cking see any thing??

[redhenracing2]

Is someone really defending the fish? I just gave my alligator snapper a fresh bag of feeders from PetSmart, as that's the only thing he is fed, and I think it is hilarious to watch him try to chase them down.

[toomis33]

It would be awesome if they share the soup with me but if not no it's not awesome

[toomis33]

i fed my snapping turtle a goldfish and it was fun to watch him chase it Turtles are awesome!

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@toomis33 Think it may be "fun" to watch ur turtle being chased by a person with a baseball bat before they decide to beat the turtle to death so he/she can put it into a soup? Does that sound awesome too?

[bugboy5577]

@LT1HILLINGHOE and you recimend him feed his turtle WHAT? i personally think its fun to watch my turtle rip them to shreads after he chaces them around the tank so please tell us what he should feed his turtle

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@bugboy5577 I don't really care what he feeds his turtle LOL. I just think it is stupid, retarded, ignorant, moronic, and lots of other colorful words for someone to say it is fun seeiing something being chased around about to be killed, goofball..

Anything else, Skippy?

[99pitbulls]

can someone tell me how to turn these fuckin oversized subtitles off...?

[Shenfootball50]

I LIKE TURTLES!!!!!!

[SkyRadioSummerHits]

1:00 turtle '' hey guy try this put you figer in here''

[RockUrSox88]

hey im getting a baby common snapping turtle next week and i have a 130 gallon (6 foot) tank setup up for him. i was planning on keeping the turtle in this tank for the rest of his life but is it too big shud i start out with a smaller tank? plzzzzz hellp

[banhotsu]

damit. now im a moron

[ppi35trk]

hey i have a baby alligator snaping turtle and will they eat small minos?

[PupuTheClown]

Snapping turtles make great pets, I'm getting one for each or my children !

[ronsimple]

Kinda pathetic seeing all those poor turtles in the background trapped for life in those tiny aquariums. :-(

[BaseballCardFreek]

@ronsimple Yeah and their water is all brown and nasty!

[superdoberman1000]

oe que animal es ese

[nagumo10001]

Good info as far as owners are concerned. Especially given the stated difference in growth that one might see in common versus alligator snappers.

Very much like owners will see in basic Boa's versus reticulated pythons. There is a real difference in a snake that might hit 60 to 70 pounds at most and one that will easily hit nearly 400! And this isn't even touching anaconda's (which regularly hit 300 plus pounds and act like pissy beasts with their owners).

[Volpierein]

ok, so my snapper is lik the size of the pom of my hand and btw i'm 11, do u know how old it is? btw (2) this is my turtle's youtube name! he he!

[Fithay95]

ew ew ew wtf was that

[SmootheTank]

@Fithay95 a turtle?

[itsthelolocaust]

Alligator snapping turtles are the more badass of the two.

[isver]

Some people try to keep alligator snapping turtles as pets? How dumb do you have to be to try to keep something as a pet that can live up to 150 years and weight over 200 pounds? People who don't know the meaning of responsibility annoy me.

[johnnyluvstacos]

@isver they're cool.

[tigeroll]

How hard do they clamp down on your fingas and stuff?

[FreonRose]

@tigeroll hard enough for you to lose it. and yes, when they're that tiny.

[FUNTOFALL50]

this dude is a dumbfuck expertvillage is trash

[HiWay69s]

EXPERT my ass

[banhotsu]

huh, the two common idiots are still at the highest rated comments and they are talking about the same thing! INCREDIBLE!

[wannabehendrix]

200 freakin pounds! Holy terapin soup batman!!!

[lilman250trx]

you can feed them fish food

[AsianChingsta]

i caught one in my backyard it was a baby

[banhotsu]

two morons at the highest rated comments are talking about the same thing. aw man. how common is that?

[GRIMLOCK84]

@banhotsu some people will thumbs up anything!

[banhotsu]

@GRIMLOCK84 well, fat ass nerds dont have anything to do right?

[GRIMLOCK84]

@banhotsu indeed my brother!

[banhotsu]

@GRIMLOCK84 now now.. we aint brothers, just internet morons.

[GRIMLOCK84]

@banhotsu lol speak for yourself:'D

[DrugMan24]

@banhotsu ´;/

[WatchYur6]

[nalgasdehule]

[kenniemc69]

[SuperMrChameleon]

[alexander92648]

[goldatra3]

[LIawliet]

[JMK1998]

Tim has only 3 fingers left, and is missing both thumbs

[JoeandNoah]

"common snappers are the more common of the two" haha thanks for the tip.

but seriously good video

[noobie64]

They are carnivorous but will also eat plants? That means they are omnivorous ya tool.

[theunborn89]

But a majority of what they eat is meat. So they consider them carnivorous.

[spoolinko3s]

they barely eat plats mostly carnivorous

[sewagedweller]

they look cute enough , but do they remember their owners ? or will they attack anything

[zxeros]

no they dont

[sewagedweller]

remember their owner or attack anything ?

[zxeros]

they will not remember their owners, if agitated it will bite anything

[mrtaekwon]

Man I would never want an aggressive pet.

[NinjaBieber]

@mrtaekwon I know, right?

[StarfyProductions]

anybody else know that there is more than 2 snapping turtle species? theres also the florida snapping turtle, a smaller version of the common snapper and only lives in the florida pan handle.

[zxeros]

there is also the Florida Snapping Turtle

[StarfyProductions]

isnt that what i said :o?

[zxeros]

is it?

[Uchirin]

I think their not saying about the alligator snapping turtle much because of it weighs 300 lbs. and is more than 30 in. long full grown!

[StarfyProductions]

okay wtf? they post all these videos on "common snapping turtles" but nothing on alligator snapping turtles.i want an allagator snapping turtle >:O!!!!!

grr i look every where! nothinG! i want to club a baby seal because of you expertvillage!!!!
