Pucker up and give me a kiss...

No mean attitude with this guy that i detect.. when i pick him up i just keep my fingers and hand away from his face.. i can pick him up and point him towards his food{they have poor eyesight} then he will see his food and snap away.. when doing a water change we lift him out put him in bucket and then put him back.. no mean attitude at all..but i would not wave my fingers around his face ..he would think it was food..

so he is not friendly...but also not quite as mean as they are in the wild?

you guys are crazy! biting broom handles in half?
they usually can even bite sticks in half.

he is never out of water.. i thought his shell and rough skin would be water logged after awhile.. made an island for him..he prefers to be in the water..

I wouldn't say they were ferocious ... but a finger looks like a yummy worm to a big snapping turtle!
