WHY???!!! Why would you want to even try. If you asked about it, the possibility was already in your mind that this might be a bad idea. All that's needed is for the AST to "accidentally" bite the Mata mata while going after food. Result: Dead Mata mata. Those are two great turtles. Do them right and give them their own space.
 
I once had a 8" common snapping turtle bite the foot off a 12" red eared slider. mixing those two does not sound like a good idea. Great turtles, where did you get the Matamata? How much$?
 
No, I would't give the gator snapper a chance, you might end up with a dead Mata, so if you like I'll gladly take the mata off your hands. :D
 
no i dont have the mata
i was just wondering b,c i seen a mata mata feeding video with an ast in theb ackround
