Fat or healthy? Snappy looks puffy or something. Most of the snappers i've seen are puffy--but i also read that a lot of pet snappers were obese.

I'd hate to have an obese snapping turtle, LOL. I'm a Southern momma so you know I am constantly shoveling food down my kid's (animal and human!) throats!

Thanks guys. :) :popcorn:
 
I dunno but he looks nice.

So thats what i have to look forward to :D
 
he looks fine IMO. snappers always have a lil fat and it really shows when they fold their appendages im.
 
Yeah. Snappy hatched this year so--that is why I am so concerned. Sooo fat and much larger than when he was a wee baby, lol.

They are a lot of fun as pets though. Almost as much fun as a gator. ;-)

Do you have yours now or are you planning on getting one?
 
Cool, thanks Hpizzle. I will just keep doing what we've been doing then. :)
 
I just checked out your build thread Lepisosteus platyrhincus. Really awesome!! Can't wait to see photos of the caiman in it!

Thank you Kevin. :)
