Snapping turtle

Its fine. It will grow quick though, Common Snappers hit 2' + dia.

It eats anything, fish, silversides, worms, meat, chicken etc. all raw. In the wild snappers frequently pull baby ducks and geese under and down/eat them. They also eat lots of fish.

DO NOT KEEP IT IN A POND. It will venture out and get killed or bite someone. Snappers will easily take a finger off.

I'm not keeping it in her daycare, in bringing it in as like a show n tell. Then I'm going to release it in her pond. I'm just going to show the kids n educate them about what a snapping Turtle is and everything. It is by no means staying in the house

Yeah its a common. Alli's have a really craggy looking carapace even as hatchlings/juveniles. As others have said, watch your fingers. At that size they don't do any damage. Even at that size you can tell they will eventually have some bite force though.

Snapping turtles are by far the best animals on the planet. Alligator snappers are the bees knees.
