People eat snapping turtles?

Humans will eat anything if it moves.
Also I found this for ya. http://www.lacrawfish.com/Boneless-...aN3zXicPhBGJP_4zXbzDyr32kfygWb9hoCkmEQAvD_BwE

Hey fishhead0103666 what became of that turtle that pooped in your pool?

I got him out, put him down, watched him walk right into a ditch and get stuck in said ditch, get him out of the ditch, watched him slowly walk away into some dense grass we have.

Snapper stew and terrapin soup used to be very popular dishes in some parts of the country.

I got him out, put him down, watched him walk right into a ditch and get stuck in said ditch, get him out of the ditch, watched him slowly walk away into some dense grass we have.

I knew you would do right by the little fella and help it on it's way.

If I can help an animal out I will, you wouldn’t believe how many tiny frogs I get out of the pool on a regular basis.

I saw this in a commercial for petsmart


That is a cichlid in the background and those are 3 koi in the front..... Who made this commercial? Did they just pull a random video involving a “cute” kid watching a fish tank without doing any research about the tank itself? They must have. They didn’t care about the video they showed as it didn’t cross their minds that someone might actually know those fish and care about it, all they cared about was a “Cute” kid watching fish to get the heart of ignorant people.

The simple answer is they will sell more tanks with an ad like that than with a picture of one of us shabby looking dudes in front of a bitope correct species tank.
Maybe they should use a picture of me in my underwear during summer doing a water change with the caption "this could be you" it would set the hobby back 20 years!

A guppy tank is more colorful than that.

I found an interesting site http://you.regettingold.com/

Very true, i'm not particularly taken with the idea of seeing you in your undercrackers either. However, the other week you posted a delightful picture of your wife with a pink sports car. Have you any pictures of her doing any water changes in her underwear. Lol.

Knife sharpening?!?! Enlighten us.

 

[fishhead0103666]

Why would he commission someone to sharpen a knife when they could get a little knife sharpener? I am honestly curious.
