Ah I see, I'd love to have sand in my tank but it's probably a pain to clean, even my river rocks are a pain but I love it haha

Hi.
Not really bro, sand keeps waste from acummulate on the bottom of the tank and allows the inner filtre to catch it easier.
As you know turtles produce a lot of waste and as I told you all that waste is captured for the inner filter, then I replace the cartridge for a clean one and that's it....all the waste is taken out of the tank.
Cheers.
I didn't think of it that way at all. Might have to revamp my tank again. Anychance I can get some pics f your tank setup?

As a matter of fact yes, though my turtle tank is kind of dull it just has some stones and sand, I am posting some pictures on weekend bro.
In the meantime I hope someone else posts some picts of his snappers, there are literally speaking, thousands of forist in MFK and I dont believe it is just us a handfull of forist the ones who keep this magnificent turtles.
What do you think? .
By the way, where did you get that leucistic snapper, I understand they are rare and if sold they are really expensive, so I suppose you are really lucky.
Tell us more about your Leucistic turtle, how much was it and where did you bought it?.
Could you try some snaps of him and post them?.
Cheers.
I got him from the same breeder for my common alligator snapper. He hooked me up since I bought from him before and spread his name around. Unfortunately if the growth rate continue as is for my two snappers, I might have to sell my leucistic. I was hoping they'd grow at about the same rate so I have time to separate them later on but my common seem to have hit a growth spurt. He's almost triple the size of the leucistic and I fear he could take out the little guy if he wanted to when I'm not watching. I'll deffinately be taking more pics tommorrow to show you guys

I'm not sure. ou may be right, I was thinking the same thing a while back. I asked on the forum and most people thought she wasn't. I looked for the thread, but I've posted too dang many...
Does anybody know the defining differences?
The head color, her shell and neck all seem within the northen´s Chelidra serpentina serpentina caracteristics. Could be wrong...Superbuddha14;2921269; said:
Superbuddah: if i where you I would try for any possible means to keep them both but if given the case i see my self with no option but to sell one of them i would def, keep the leucistic. they are pretty rare and hard to find. on the other hand If you decide to sell the leucistic you have to sell it really really expènsive, I mean more than 1000 box...
Cheers.
