Alligator Snapping Turtle "Big Daddy"

[mitchisawsome1]

why dont you put your hand a lil closer

[flamesk8er5]

I remember i saw the scariest thing.... (Ive handled huge snappers..) I was fishing at a pond once... I went over to the edge and i saw A HUGE snappers head.. probably the biggest i have ever seen. This here is quite a big one, but the one i saw i will never forget.... It didnt even get scared when it saw me... Im guessing it was 200 Pounds.. Normally, I wouldnt guess over 30 lbs, but the head on this thing was bigger than a tire.

[TheCrystalwaterfall]

wouldnt want 2 be paddlin in there!

[HellVomit09]

big ol puppa dawg!

[salmonella4everyone]

omg it could have bit your hand!

[21195BLACKHAWK13]

[MrNoyzee]

A wild Squirtle appeared

[veelalynne]

What do you feed it?

[zakor33]

add a dose of radiation and you got yourself a godzilla wannabe :P

[Kingofcorrect]

Out in da whatuh, mmmhmm. Yeah. I love the Cajun Accent, which is why i love Louisiana

[TattooCulture]

I want to raise one in a pool full of swamp water, and ride it like a motherfucking battle mount. who would fuck with a guy riding a Snapper?

[jimmyshitbags]

WOH!! i was like, ahh it's not that big, then i realized i was only looking at the head

[ninjapig209]

lol thought his head was the whole turtle until a few seconds later i was like daaaamn !!!

[wyttale]

DAMN!! That was freaky just watchin' that sea monster come up!! Coolness though!!

[123bryant456]

at first i thought it was a small turtle. then i realized that "small turtle" was a giant head! holy shit haha. thats awesome

[johngo1224]

wow thats an awesome snapping turtle. HUGE!!! It's amazing how big and how old they can grow to be.

[Z51Chevy]

Feeding an alligator snapping turtle by hand is, to me, insane...... You obviously know this creature well......

At first i thought it was a small turtle.... then the small turtle turned into a large head 0_o

[gumpert7]

...i dont think thats a very safe way to feed it ...

[LovleyTurtles]

holy crap O.O would love to own one that big one day,but one that size would need a small lake XD

[carefreeangel]

im surprised it didnt grab more than tt small piece!!!

[imatuner]

man is there any way you could get a video of it out of the water, i would love to see this thing.

[gigihenry28]

i thought its beak was his head at first. that is huge



[justinkingtut]

That is huge balls for hand feeding it good vid

[MangoBastard]

i will pay you 50.00 to feed him a naga jolokia pepper and film the reaction

[rpogue65]

motherfucker is huge i want to get one like a little baby i used to have one till it got way to big and i throwed him back in my pond i miss him but i see him every ounce in awhile and i fee him mice one time i throwed a baby mouse in my pond and he came up so fast and got the motherfucker lmao

[123TauruZ321]

[TheSlimySquid]

dayum

just like the turtles in my video.....

[cutthebullshiz]

that turtle is amazing. so big! it's great that you have a safe home for them, they are such wonderful misunderstood creatures. I have at least 12 in my large pond, they are awesome!

[PaXx]

Wow, aren't you lucky you have all fingers left?

[tienshenhan86]

That turtle has got to set records! Did you see on the show Dirty jobs the zoologist said they live over 150 years, they know this because they found musket rounds lodged in their shells from the civil war! Now that's a fun fact. Nice to see you taking care of them, I live in IL and our neighbors from the south stole our monster snapper that was in a huge tar bucket with water, in the back of a truck and we didn't know ppl ate them, so wen we herd southerners do, we knew who stole it. Fuck!

[trophykilljr]

You're crazy. That turtle could've bit your whole hand off.

[Fingolfin3423]

You're lucky to have your fingers, much less your hand.

[hmonghawj99]

[ALshow1989]

[TheWildBunny69]

[TheWildBunny69]

I will pay $800 for it and I will pick it up from your house

[rhondalynn67]

@TheWildBunny69

Not for sale. One of the reasons we keep them is because we don't want anyone killing them. These turtles are on the endangered list.

[sensinarie]

@rhondalynn67 thank you!!!!

[SvddenDeth]

@rhondalynn67 That is a nice turtle i have a red eard slider

[chrysdarlington]

[TheWildBunny69]

[TheWildBunny69]

[rhondalynn67]

@TheeMacbeth

Our front yard, South Louisiana

[fradu89]

[shukaku]

I findit so weird as big as alligator snapping turtles are they have fear of predators? What on earth would try to eat a 20 pound snapping turtle lol?

[rhondalynn67]

@shukaku A 250 pound snapping turtle! LOL :)

[MrSabato100]

@rhondalynn67 we have 1 same size!

[luvyouOonot11]

@shukaku man kind unfortunatly :(

[Riotbringer]

@shukaku lol biggest alligator snapper i saw was on the bank of a lake and i thought it was a boulder...to my surprise it moved into the water when i went to sit on it =\

[FaMoUsSaGe]

@IncisalEdges i would never do that

[epatha]

just need the jaws theme song now... haha

[NobleEagle1]

HES HUGE! and is that reaally your guys pet turtle

[rhondalynn67]

He's in our pond, along with about 35 other logger heads, but I wouldn't call him a pet. We enjoy feeding them so can to see them, but I wouldn't go swimming with them :)

[NobleEagle1]

ooooohhhhhhh

[lordturtlemonk]

So how old would you say the oldest one in your pond/lake/water thing there? I wouldn't be surprised if you have one that may be 140 years old. God I love turtles! You should post up more! Its epic.

[animecrazy102]

watch your hair! :D

[maggiely999]

Hey, I found the river monster!

[heathey2]

A tame giant Alligator Snapping Turtle O.o

[mattxr2i]

That is one big snapping turtle! I don't think I would be hand feeding it though lol.

[spoolinko3s]

awsome dude i got a alligator snapper but nowhere as big as that monster

[antdanxxl]

omg that is huge, it could snap your finger/arm :D

[thrasha666]

damn how big is that guy

[pbdude725]

i wouldn't feed it. one of these days its going to get one of your appendages.

[warblink89]

wow thats a little freaky but still awesome

[SofaKingAbsent]

i wonder the age of the turtle

[SofaKingAbsent]

wow. you must know what you're doing

[soccerman558]

god damn that takes balls

[steviebeat]

post some more vid please :)  i love these creatures.

[KyoAWare]

WTF?! Good God That thing is huge! And its seriously scary how it just slowly rose out of the water like that...Way scary man!!

[1lightspeed]

This is so cool! I had three newly hatched baby common snappers at my koi pond 2 years ago, and I loved it! I would like one as a pet, but they just get too big, and you have to be very careful not to get bitten!

[Pikip]

You asking to get bit lol.

lucky that snapper isnt aggresive

it would take a much bigger leap at foold lol

[fly2000jtb]

I have 12, my Grand got his when he was in his 30's passed it to my Dad, then he Died not long ago and now The Old Man is with me. Grand use to call him Big Daddy too, my Dad changed it to Old Man years ago. He is 75 years old and wieghs 50 pounds. He is a common snapping turle nnot a Allie. I would really like to see more videos!! Thanks for posting, Joseph T (fly2000jtb)

[jlbengry23]

you should post more vids.

[zxeros]

agreed

[BrickMuffin]

keep it up

[ladybloodrose]

awsome video!

[yanfloist]

wow

[rhondalynn67]

We are very aware of what they can do. This is our pond its in. We have put over 36 of them in there to keep people from killing them. This is one of the biggest but not the biggest we have. Have been catching snapping turtle since I was 10 :)

[ukmachinehead]

Thats nice that you rescue them. :-)

They are so cool and there babies are so sweet id love a baby one but know they get massive so wont get one. Keep good work up. :-)

[BOBCHAMBLISS]

Awesome that you keep them and save them !!

[THINKgreen3331]

your awesome!!!! thats a really cool thing to do! what state is the pond?

[aaroncjustice]

Easily the biggest alligator snapping turtle I've seen. I've seen huge ones, but that things shell looked like an oil drum....

[DGiles21]

we had a normal wild snapping turtle living in my lake and it was bigger than that one. i was fishing one day off my dock and had my fish on a stringer in the water. when i was done i pulled the bass out of the water and all that was left on them were their heads. lol. and they were big bass. but the turtle was atleast 2 feet across. i mean it was a giant. if you went into the 20 feet deep water you could just see a big grey blob crawling on the bottom.

[TheBlairSmithProject]

how bad do you think that could have turned out?

[shukaku]

clearly he's been raising these thing since they were babies. a regular snapping tutrle would never rise to the surface like that for the fear of predators. yeah it could have turned out bad but clearly he's had this thing for a while

[rhondalynn67]

NO, We have not had him long, put him in about 4 years ago. We would not be alive to see him this big if we had him since he was a baby. It takes a turtle a long time to grow this big. He comes to the surface because he knows he will get fed, just like any animal who comes to you for food when you feed them every day.

[BLUEtrafficLIGHT]

@rhondalynn67 how much does it weigh

[rhondalynn67]

@BLUEtrafficLIGHT About 160 pounds

[ezacheeza]

@rhondalynn67 cool. a turtle that weight and size could damn well be about 150 years old! what an awesome creature:]

[cha5]

"Keep it in one spot and let's

see how he does" just be sure to watch your fingers while you're doing it,

It doesn't look vicious but if you were too slow you might could lose some.

[ohhhwelll]

ok that is one scary freaking huge ass turtle...omg...wow....AWESOME.

[hosvius]

truly amazing awesome video man. I'm subscribing, please post more of this.

[JRocker921]

[mrpat1]

[Aonoyn]

That thing's head is the size of a paint bucket!! Are you mad?!

[TyeNee]

That turtle must be really old. He's probably your friend now waiting for you to feed him :)

[MapleMaster]

"keep it in one spot and lets see how it does" WTF it could have taken off youe hand

[squirrelkiller247]
