Idk who told u alligator ampler don't have a long neck cuz all snappers do maybe urs is a defect or it just hasn't come out yet and u know eventual the territorial side of all ur snappers will kick in say good bye to anything alive in the cage but u got like 1 year tops before Tht good luck

@cleemeyer1 the latin/scientific name for common snappers is Chelydra serpentina that's the latin for all common snapping turtles in north america, there are no variations. like you said yourself buddy, use FACTS, not what an online store says..I guarantee I know more about these animals than you do, and John Richards (if you even know who he is), is a personal friend of mine, so I'm positive my FACTS are correct. if you don't know who he is, you know nothing about snapping turtles

@cleemeyer1 ok, i saw your videos, you're like 14 yrs old, and you're still wrong....look up the SCIENTIFIC NAMES for common snappers...there are no subspecies...someone is ripping you off just because of a color difference...its like saying a sandfire bearded dragon is a different animal than a regular beards dragon....its just a color difference...means nothing about where its from

[cleemeyer1]

alligator snappers have larger heads if you want to use that as a distinction, but their neck are so long they cant retract them into their shell all the way, and name calling doesnt prove anything buddy facts do

[cleemeyer1]

@supersrtman again, as i said if you think i am lying than go online which is what you are on now, and i've had snappers for 20 years now all common snappers and one florida snapper which i ordered because i like the coloration on them... buddy i know more about them then you i can assure you.. do what i said and go to an online store, turtlesource, turtleshack, wherever ( common snapper, and florida snappers will be in there) google it buddy

[supersrtman]

@GOONZOOF if your alligator snapper looks like a common snapper, it probably is a common, sorry to tell you....alligator snappers can't even grab your finger on the top of theor shell behind the head....a common will reach back halfway or more

[supersrtman]

@cleemeyer. You're an idiot if you believe that...learn your animals before you try to comment ...they are not different...there is no recognized subspecies for common snappers...again, you are backwards on your theory of their necks....alligator snappers can't even reach the top of their shells...youre probably another misguided person who thinks they have an alligator snapper when you actually just have a common....sad

[cleemeyer1]

@supersrtman if you go on any turtle site or store, they have common snappers for sale and florida snappers for sale because their DIFFERENT.. common snappers are a real dark brown and florida snappers are lighter with better coloration... Alligator snappers cover 3/4 their shell with their neck as common snappers only cover about half of it, we are on the internet you can google it if you think im lying to you.. just because your OLDER common snapper has a longer neck doesnt mean anything

@Supersrtman I have a female alligator snapper she looks like a normal snapper aka common but nay and her neck is long maybe half her body or more and I had a male covered in spikes he was a true look alike monster of what everyone pictures the alligator snapper as his neck was longer then hers
