Ive had my snapper for maybe 7 months now and shes about 5" across her shell. When I got her she was the size of yours. They grow very very fast.

you could throw a tin can in with them and it would eat it and digest it and not have a problem. (not that I would recommend that). what are your plans for when it gets a bit of size on it?

LOL, yeah he seems to eat anything that gets too close.
Though he is very relaxed when I do have to handle him. I have him in a large hard poly container ( 18x24x12 , semi opaque) currently and have a sponge filter power head for filtration and regular water changes. I'm working on a Wet/dry filter (DIY) from a old very large broken canister filter ( I'll get some pics of that also when it's completed). When he gets big enough I'm going to go the rubbermaid stock tank.
I'm not sure he is a he yet, he's still alittle too small to tell.
Thanks Louie, The water stay pretty clean as I really try to feed him only as much as he will eat and take out the rest. Water changes are still key though. For the record my RES was WAAAAAY more messy.
