lol@ chunky snapper.

Thanks guys. :)
 
no he is fine. my snapper is fat lol but i dont have to shove anything down his throat he is much obliged to do that himself. lol he has lost a lil weight since that pic but he doesnt like his diet. he sits on his butt and smacks the glass when he wants food. very smart lil bugger.

He looks very healthy. A little pudge is normal on a snapper, especially a young one.

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. :)

LOL--I LOVE that pinched looking mouth they have. Kind-of like "don't mess with me you whipper snappers". Yours is adorable!

Thanks guys--its good to know Snappy is doing okay.
 
He is a little chunky, but not bad. I personally control my snappers diets, so they stay sleek and trim looking, but that is a matter of taste.
 
I grew one out one time and he looked just like that. It was around that size that he got into his "teens" as I would call it and got rebellious and MEAN mean mean.

being a southern boy myself, I like a chunky snapper ^^^

LOL, I know what you mean, soup time LOL.
 
Well, if it came to us starving and Snappy for supper ... turtle and dumplings, lol.

As long as he is not grossly obese I am okay with a lil' chunk Methos. I was just worried Snappy was way too fat. :D

Biohazard's snapper is a teenager? I guess they would get mean and nasty at that age, lol. Hormones can be bad, just ask my poor husband. :D
