These things are true Monsters. I found one several years ago in a parking lot about the size of a half dollar looking very ill. So of course I had to take it home and rehab it. It got better, and bigger, and meaner, very quickly. It started getting aggressive about the size yours is now. Once it got about double yours' size, it was almost impossible to handle. They can snap up and over their back almost the length of their body in the blink of an eye. Very cool animals, but also mean as mean can get! Youll need a pond to keep it long term. Mine destroyed an Oceanic glass tank, scratched it all up with its claws. I should also mention, they have an insatiable appetite. Bottomless pits.
In a parking lot?Good for you,I've read that they swim up under ducks and pull them down and eat them.I'd like to get an alligator snapper but have no place to eventually keep one.

Id like to get an alligator snapper too but thats not for a while. These guys do eat anything and everything they can. I feed mine feeder fish, worms, crickets, grasshoppers, and turtle sticks. Shes not picky at all. eventually ill probly feed her an occasion mouse or something but thats when shes a lot bigger.
