anyone got a tame snapper???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i cant find the video of the extremely tame snapper i saw on youtube

thats my goal lol
 
Even if someone did have a "tame" one, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it.
 
ive always wanted a snapper

i dont care, its just a hopefull option, and i didnt buy him, i found him
 
When I had mine, I just handled him regularly and he became rather relaxed in my presence after some time (now how much of that is because of handling and how much of that was due to the turtle's natural personality, who knows). Of course, I was still overly cautious with the thing, I didn't want to lose any fingers lol. ^_~

Bingo.
Would you ever try to tame a Rattlesnake?

Look at it's name man.That should sway you from this task altogether.
What you need to learn is proper handling, as when they are big, if your hands aren't in the right place while grabbing, you WILL find out how long it's neck goes back.
 
well no herp likes to be held
its just the heat they enjoy
but most of the time they dont even care about the heat

I have to desagree with that;) A good friend of mine (unfornatly do to colege I havent seen him in more than a year:() has a true cb female savanah monitor that loves to be cudled in its head and that loves to have it´s "cat naps"in my friend´s lap:D My female green iguana allows me to pick her up, likes to ride my sholder in "house walks" and has falled asleep more than one time wille I was with her in the couch:hearts:
Several of my turtles allow me to pick them up or even want to because they know that there is the possibility that I put them in their feeding container. They will also come when asked to;) Finely one of my 2 western painteds(unfornatly lost her in the last winter:cry:) was one of the most laid back turts I ever come across, full of personality, unlike any turts I ever seen she will not go away if surprised basking in the sun, I could pick her up and she would continue basking in my hand like nothing happened for like 20minutes:eek::D
