[MBsaturnus]

[Zachster1997]

I hope those turtles are dead or your a dumbass to hold it like you are

[rivereverest]

Crappy camera

[wajalama]

Looks like Bowser lol

[sgntmills]

my snapper has both spike tail and shell along with the lure in its tongue so what the hell is it?

[phantoniumable]

@sgntmills it took a wile for me to find mine out to but baby common snapping turtles have sorta spike things on there shell and tail so if you have a baby snapping turtle then its probably a common or a common and aligator snapper fucked and had a retarded child (: your welcome

[sgntmills]

@phantoniumable well it's not retarted but its is probably mixed,it was 164 pounds and its neck stretches 1 foot its body from tail to head is about 3 feet....so what about that?

[phantoniumable]

@sgntmills well i was kinda joking around about the retarded thing and since its an adult then can u show me a picture upload to wiki uploads and send link to me

?

[Velox415]

There used to be a giant common snapper around my old neighborhood. I was soooo pissed when some asshole cut it's head off. If I knew who did it I would have punch their face in. >:(

[sartung]

can i house a common and an alligator in the same tank?

[IplayUwatchME]

@sartung no. common and alligator live all of their lives by themselves until mating. they claim territory like most animals and dont do well with others. they will fight in the cage until one of them is the victor, probably the alligator turtle.

[TheAc1219]

whoa !! i started from a robot crocodile video and through the suggestions i reached here ... and i dint used the search .. amazing!!

[xR3DxL34Dx]

i think the turtles just grow. it doesnt matter how big your tan is, i red somewhere.

[shampoo02]

Hey Billy bob your one dumb ass inbred red neck bitch and need to kill your self you hog looking mother fucker.Kill your slut mother and punk father frist for having your fucked up ass

[caldwell81]

how long does it take for the common snapping turtle to get that big!?!?!?!? please answer i have 7 of my own and i want to know when there going to grow!!!

[kailashpaul3]

wait a minute this is what kills me in mario lol

[eltoposk8ter]

where can i buy an alligator one?

[tc9er]

the difference is about 200 lbs.

[CRAZYericCRAZY]

@Iwatchtrek Just because it eats doesn't mean it's healthy, so...

[CRAZYericCRAZY]

@Iwatchtrek They are not that young, you can tell just by their size. Constant handling isn't that great either, it can cause a lot of stress for the animal.

[Iwatchtrek]

@CRAZYericCRAZY Well I think he says the one loves to eat, so.

[sartung]

can you put them in the same tank?, if they are in the same size

[AlanMoorefan]

@DGiles21 If you can't properly house something that naturally grows to a large size eventually, you shouldn't be considering keeping it in the first place. What's wrong with a box turtle or anything with less demanding requirements?

[advenger32]

i want one but how much do they cost?

i currently have a red eared slider turtle and i got her for only 5 bucks :D

i think it will be easier to care for than a RES because they dont bask often

[grunthunter44]

I clicked on this video expecting to see a battle to the death between the two! YOU SIR ARE AN ASS!

[two45triox]

Someone requested a video, not a slideshow.

[babydragon2000]

hate it

[itsthelolocaust]

they look pretty similar when theyre babys

[reptileman10001]

do snappers need light

[Delticola]

@DGiles21 Actually, by hardly feeding it you can stunt it's growth. Something extreamly cruel (stunting the growth) In 1995 I took a DNA blood sample from one a guy kept in an aquarium for about 16 years. It was about 7 inches. It was about a 30 gallon aquarium, but the turtle would have grown to fill the tank if it had been feed right. And FYI, common snapping turtles live much longer then 30 years. Try about 130 years or more.

[alex16729]

_|_ Fuck It

[2turtles1]

how many turtles do you have if you keep those 2 turtles in the same tank once the alligator snapper gets big enough it will try to killand eat the other turtle it happened to me not once not twice but 3 times and that is not a le even though the commen snapper is bigger the alligator one will still kill it. it will lie on the bottom of the tank and the other one will swim over it and bamm it will lock on to its neck and rip it to shreads it happened to me 2 times.

[spindelgris]

when I read vs I assumed it'd be a fight to the death

oh well

[lemmyliquor]

Now can you tell me the difference between a serpentina,serpentina.... and a serpentina,osceola?

[RangerRob2009]

I saw an aligator snapper in Lake Sebago, Maine some year ago. The thing had a head twice the size of a big man. It had to be over 6 feet in length and probably weighed 500 pounds or so. This turtle has been seen swimming around the lake close to shore for more than 25 years.

[SturryRoaders09]

alligator snappin turtles have been found with musket wouldnt possibly from the civil war witch would put them atleast 150 years old maybe they live onger then u mite think

[Stinkyjig]

@SturryRoaders09 Urban Legend...they do live a long time tho!

[Vixey513]

turtles arnt always aggressive it depends what mood they r in, my common r sweet angels when im around but when my mom/dad/brother ae around they snapp, so they may pick favorites

[BigRichieRichcas]

dude alligator snappers can live way way longer,more live 150-200 years.150 plus 4 sure

[2MuzicLuv3r2]

get a better camera ok?

[rockylego]

does a common snapper turtle bite people

[varnonzero]

@rockylego YES! Leave them in the water and they are calm, but on land they get ANGRY! They won't bite you if you are swimming around in a pond, they only bite if they feel threatened, and they just aren't comfertable on land.

[ChaosEn3]

how the fuck did you get them to not be so aggressive? what the hell did you do to baby bowser?

[Blinx56]

Have you drugged them to be like that?

[Blinx56]

Have you drugged them to be like that?

[puhlyy]

its still going 2 get BIG even if u stave the poor thing@DGiles21

[bobdudle123211]

does any one know where to buy an aligator snapper???

[worldoakcorporation]

my alligator snapper is docile i can pick him up and hold them but just dont put your fingers near his mouth

[mythplatypuspwned]

man...i thought it was gonna be a fight...

[CRAZYericCRAZY]

I would be concerned about the health of these animals. They are not commonly as dosile as this, and it could be due to insufficient care.

[tkchaos2000]

Some r just calmer than others. I've noticed that snappers that r handled somewhat often arent as aggressive. My friend and me both have commons and both r in good health according 2 our vet. Im no expert but im very familiar with the commons.

[schenkyoass]

@CRAZYericCRAZY mine is realy healthy and he will bite even if u tutch it on the shell these ones are like week

[justinhardt1]

@CRAZYericCRAZY They're scared.

[varnonzero]

@CRAZYericCRAZY I don't disagree completely, but they can actually calm down in captivity if you don't harass them. A lot of people that keep them will agitate them, because it is "cool" to see them fight back. Most aren't this calm.

I did a common snapper that was super healthy, and super calm. He was wonderful.

[Iwatchtrek]

@CRAZYericCRAZY He obviously handles them tons, and they're young.

[alexbproductionz]

@CRAZYericCRAZY thats not true if you have them since there hatchling and hold them a lot then they won't be as aggressive

[Dimunic]

@CRAZYericCRAZY Uhh or captive bred? Captive bred snappers can be tamed down like that.

[LostEnzeru]

@CRAZYericCRAZY It's entirely possible they're just cold, and therefore inactive, or they're so well fed and used to the guy handling them that they're not aggressive.

[MBsaturnus]

@CRAZYericCRAZY lol fuck you they are just turtles. they should be happy that he does not chop them up and eat them. and its good when theyre "dosile".

[MBsaturnus]

@CRAZYericCRAZY i would already butcher this shitty snapping turtle lol

[zxeros]

very cool snappers

[teazr28]

Wow very tame and dosile turtles...especially the alligator snapper...those r usually very agressive..good job

[DABUDDAKILLAMAN666]

and da inside of an aligator turtles is black lik mud n a comons is whitsh grey, n an comons can pull its head more so in da an aligator snapper can n aligator snapping turtles can live over 100 years old easy

[DRAKON123456]

lol man you have the worlds mose doseile alligator snaping turtle ever all the other ones ive seen would not think twice about biteing the oerson tuching it lol awsome informative video

[69HIPEKAK69]

what if you breed them .. will there be turtles with spikes on the tail AND on the back? and of course the other way raund? pls tell...

[9912699125]

thkx for making this video!

[jalpern718]

they can live much longer than 100 years scientists have found alligator snappers with musket balls in them from the civil war and common snappers live an average of 50 years

[cheezman22production]

haha i was going to leave the exact same comment

[redbballstyle]

Just cuz it ate a musket doesnt mean it ate it way bay when. It could of te the musket ball then scientist found it shortly after.

[PinkAndPlus]

@redbballstyle They didnt eat the musket ball moron...

[fallentoturtle]

common snappers live much longer then 30 years

[leomendoza78]

Whatever dude. You dont think ive done my research?

[leomendoza78]

Turtles grow to their environment, I know this cuz ive had them almost all my life. Ive always prefered common over alligator cuz theyre more active and much mor fun to watch, my alligators would only leave their cave at night and would just hide out most of the time. Common snappers would just watch me from its aquarium and was always hungry

[hyphenizm]

absolutely wrong. just because you've had turtles for most of your life doesn't mean that you were raising them right. not providing proper accommodations for a turtle will stunt its growth and shorten its life. that's not called "growing to their environment". any respectable herpetologist will you the same.

[fallentoturtle]

hyphenizm is wright. a smaller cage will only stunt there growth a small bit.

[CancelSparks]

Alligator snapping turtle will be big but enviroment and the size will determine the actual size of the animal ruke is a general for all North American fresh water turtle species

[MarcuSS85]

no it's going to get big regardless! that's one of the dumbest myths ever. How can something remain small just cause it's in a small environment?

[hatchlingcopperhead]

At the detroit zoo they have the oldest alligator snapper known the say hes about 150 years old

[armoballer4]

lmao im from detroit to

[hatchlingcopperhead]

haha

[kingofkings1488]

you been to the zoo

[retardunleashed]

nope they can live 200 + they found one alive with a musket ball from the civil war...

[hatchlingcopperhead]

well than I suppose he was the largest one known then if your information was accurate.

[americanidolkid]

lol

[JJCR0123]

haah some guy tried to sell me a "russian snapping turtle". he told me they didnt get as big as commons and there was no such thing as an alligator snapping turtle.

[kingofkings1488]

he fucking lied to you

[varnonzero]

@JJCR0123 Ha!

I do remember, somebody found a big alligator snapper in Japan or something once. Guess it was released and grew up there!

[ReptileExpert263]

did u catch these like the alligator and these turtles. i caught like 3 common snapping turtles but let them all go.

[billy33533]

either way its going to grow.. just dont feed it to offen or alot and it wont grow as fast

[varnonzero]

@billy33533 Same thing works for humans! If you want your kids to stay young forever, just don't feed them as much, you can keep them smaller!

Seriously though, ectotherms have different metabolisms and growth traits, but it just isn't right to starve them to keep them smaller. If you want a smaller turtle, get a smaller species. Either snapping turtle is way too large of a species of 99% of most keepers. Get a musk or mud turtle.

[scorpians222]

the first time u pick the snapping turlte i thought u was being careless lol

[rcww92]

correction bill common is averag of 60

[12345Matt54321]

3:15 - If I held my commons by the top of their shell like that, I wouldnt have a bloody Finger!

5*****

[jerumd]

You know why?? Coz, this is a captive born common snapping turtle. Wild caught ones doesn't have a clue of being loyal to a human master for food.

[12345Matt54321]

1:30 - a Lure

Sweet Aliigator Snapper. I want one!

I have 2 Commons.
