Nice turt even if a bit overweigth
BUT you shouldnt be keeping it with sliders or any other turtles for that matter, snappers are very territorial and in the wild big ones include smaller turts in their diet. Horrible desfiguranting injurys or even death is a very likely possibility, its just a question of time. Put them apart asap

Looks like he's the perfect size to start doing some serious damage.

I've had Snappy for 6 or 7 years. He went from a fishbowl (not kidding - previous owner) to a 2/3 of a 90 gallon (shared tank with another turtle, with a divider) to the whole 90 gallon to his current home, a 300 gallon. My snapper never has basked since I've owned him, but I've heard young ones do sometimes.
I think you'll really like your Snapping Turtle, they have a whole lot more personality than most turtles!
