Sanpping turtles are my favorite animals. Wish I could keep one properly. When I was younger, I fed the snapper I had at the time, soft cat food pellets. He loved them, and i loved feeding him. He got fat, real fat. I miss him. released him when he got too big, it was the 70s and all I had was a 20 gallon.
Nice turtle you have there!

Thanks man. Next setup for him will be a indoor 200 gallon koi pond i think.
Ha thanks, he is the family pet haha. My wife likes him more than the dogs, always taking him out and exercising him.
Is that how you get him UVB? My friend gave me one to look after for awhile. I think I'll take it out for a walk tomorrow. Got a bulb on him but might as well add the natural sun, too.
Has yours ever bitten you? My friend was wondering if they can be hand-tamed like birds.

Never tried to bite me, but he does snap at the cleaning hose when cleaning out his tank. He does not like intruders in his territory. I handle him all the time, most of the time doe does not mind at all, but sometimes he tried as hard as he can to get away.
