My Alligator Snapping Turtle Collection

Defense mechanism.........

agreed, that is when they are most vulnerable and out of their element. Tends to tick them off quite well.

Yah the only time I have ever had to seperate an AST is when out of the water or in shallow water . I typically pull all my turtles out to feed and thats the only time i take great care in putting them in at different times to let them calm down and realize its food time. But other than that I have never had any bad stories and ive had AST's for over 5 years

Enough. You guys have been warned already by varanio. If I have to clean up this thread I'll be handing out infractions.

Now thats a mod keepin the peace.

Back on topic love the turtles, i just dont have a pond to finish off my turtle collection. Love the pond set up and would love to see more on it. Defiantly a wonderful enclosure for wonderfully healthy turtles.

I've personally never had any issues with fighting in cage. And at times I have very big size differences. So who knows. IMO its fine
