Alligator snapping turtle

Posted these in a thread but thought more people could see this awesome little guy if it had its own thread.

Hes in a 180 gallon tank that is half land half water type deal. Amazing to watch hunt down guppies.

Where can I get it? Did you get him from petstore or online purchase like from John Richards?

 

[piranhaman00]

Got it from turtleman.com. Great place to buy from.

He didn't reply to my messages. It has been over a week now.

Very interesting species, i had one in the past and sold it when it got too large for me, but i recently picked one up at a reptile show and last week someone dropped off a common snapper at my job and i opted to take the little guy home. Both are on mazuri turtle pellets. Try to get it on pellets before it becomes familiar with hunting and youll save alot of $$$ on feeding it. Although, who can pass up feeding live foods to such a cool hunter. Good luck!

Here is my CST Shredder, he is 5 years old. Any of you guys that have snappers and Facebook should join snapping turtle fanatics on fb. Lots of good info from folks on there and we would all like to see pics of snappers
