The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is my favorite turtle. It might be my favorite animal. Sure, they aren't as cool looking as alligator snapping turtles or the mata mata, but their awesome appearance along with their intelligence and personality just make them so incredibly special. But is the common snapping turtle a good pet? Is this monster turtle the best pet reptile for you?

Now I know you said that the bite force isn’t THAT strong but I’ve had a lot of experience handling and feeding snapping turtles and I’ve seen a snapping turtle easily decapitate a fish. It’s not really just the bite force, more like how sharp that beak is and that they won’t let go.

I love my Common Snapper, when tamed they'll never bite, and they act more like a puppy than any other turtle and they are more interactive than an alligator snapper. They are also more hybrid than most aquatic turtles so they do fine on land walks. I still wouldn't recommend them as a pet for how easy it is to not properly care for them, but I love that I'll have a life long pet. I hatched my own, I'd not reccomend taming a wild turtle. Just to clarify a couple points in the video. Snappers do not need to bask like other aquatic turtles, so UVB isn't as vital as their diet satisfies that need. Mine loves to bask under a heat source (no light). They may be lazy swimmers but they are good swimmers in my opinion. Mine will inflate herself to float or sink as needed. Common Snappers aren't exactly as quick as fish are so it's a bit unnatural to feed a whole fish diet which I avoid with so many bones. But as a protein source mine loves cuts of fish, crawdad tails, and scallops.

She nursed him back to health and he became the most gentle turtle. You could hand feed him worms and he would take them oh so gently. He was eventually released into a turtle sanctuary in his native habitat. Thank you so much for this very sweet and informative video!

An older friend of mine was washing his hands off the edge of a dock after fileting some fish. He was bitten by a common snapping turtle, which took off most of his pinky and did severe damage to his ring finger. I realize this evidence is anecdotal and second hand, but I just wanted to share that they can, in fact, sever a digit. But still, seems like a solid pet.

@Tinyvalkyrie410 4 года назад

Big Z's Animal Adventures just because you haven’t lost a finger doesn’t mean they can’t. Alligator turtles can for sure, and I have personally seen a common bite a fairly large fish in half. With the bite force and the shearing beak it would be more than capable of removing a finger that ended up in its mouth. Every bite wouldn’t do it, but some probably could.

@bigzsanimaladventures4781 4 года назад

@@Tinyvalkyrie410 no that's just incorrect. Their beak is sharp enough to cause lacerations an some pain but they don't have enough jaw strength to break bone. A fish sure their bones are thin an brittle. An alligator snapping turtle easily could but a common snapping turtle is just not possible. Maybe a large enough male could maybe break a finger although highly unlikley. Ive worked with reptiles my whole life and im a senior in college in zoology an herpetology I know far more about reptiles then you or the guy who's comment I replied to. Do some research before believing every old story you hear

@Tinyvalkyrie410 4 года назад

Big Z's Animal Adventures you are making assumptions about the knowledge of the people you are talking to without justification. I am a biophysicist and have significant experience with reptiles from working at zoos, an aquarium and two rescues. Humans have been shown to bite off fingers on many occasions, and they have to crush and rip... a turtle cuts, which requires much less force. Even if we assume they cannot break bone, they certainly could slice through a joint. As I said, not every bite would, but a lucky one absolutely could. Edit: for anyone still curious, it has been well established that both common and alligator snapping turtles eat other turtles, including shells, in the wild. If a turtle can regularly crack open a turtle as a snack, I definitely wouldn’t trust them with my fingers.

@seanfoltz7645 4 года назад

@@bigzsanimaladventures4781 Is a joke BZ - I know that the common snapper isn't as dangerous as the alligator snapper - there's a RU-vid video floating around where some idiot had a common snapper latch onto his neck and he easily survived - doesn't stop that beak from being extremely intimidating looking though.

So I've shared this video a bunch of times because I live in their native range, and they are probably second only to our eastern box turtles to be most commonly in the road, in a dangerous place, and needing to be relocated. I occasionally see debates on social media about how best to handle them, (often people swear by picking up even big turtles by their tails 😢) so I share this with a "skip to" time for handling. I actually just moved a snapper off the road the other day - my first turtle this spring.

"He's like a hamburger." LOL forever. I just love you, Clint. I wish there were so many more people like you. You make me laugh and learn and your RESPECT for these animals as autonomous beings makes me so very happy. I have an adult Carolina mantis that I am ACHING at the prospect of losing in a month or three here, and I have always tried to respect her decisions. Only held her once to save her from an ant invasion. I can boop her (gentle touch, back leg or "mantisbutt") and she kind of pearlclutches like WELL I NEVER, but she does NOT run or threat-display (you know that I AM CORNHOLIO thing mantises do, lol?) So I don't press the issue or do it very often. I offer her my hand gently and calmly and she checks me out busily with those antennae but has no desire to stand on my hand. BUT--she doesn't run away, as she's learned I won't hurt her, and I'm so honored by that! A previous mantis would stand on the "door" on purpose so I'd open it and hold her--she'd eagerly trot into my hand! They all have their own little personalities and moods and reasons and boundaries, and I love and respect that YOU love and respect that, is the point of this ramble. They don't owe us anything . We owe THEM the best care and respect and love we can offer, and IMO that HAS to include letting them say NO unless there's a serious pressing danger.

@stoobyderp 4 года назад

Thank you for talking about not picking these up by the tail!! Way too many people think that's the appropriate method thanks to TV and it makes me so mad. Their plastron pretty much has a built-in handle in the back, lol!

@StrangelyIronic 4 года назад

Wouldn't say I've had them as pets but growing up there were a ton of these guys sticking their heads up in the waters of the pond in our yard. They would snatch the fish food faster than the cat fish could get to it lol. I had to move a fair share that would get up into the yard and the dogs would corner (otherwise they would just waddle on their way and I'd leave them be). I used the method you recommended guiding with the tail and raising them up with the base/bottom of their shell. Coming from a mechanic background I thought of that being the strongest and safest place to stabilize and lift them, I always disliked lifting animals directly by limbs and to me the tail felt like that but worse since tails are extensions of the spine like you mentioned.

@seekingeudaimonia6884 3 года назад

I always heard of snapping turtles as a kid but it was more of an idea than an actuality. One day we were at the cabin, and a snapping turtle had lots of leeches I think, I was a kid I can’t remember, but I mean LOADS under every arm, so they took him put him upside down, poured salt all over the leeches, and then let him go by our deck. It’s safe to say I was always terrified after that, and was petrified of going in the water because I thought I’d be bitten. Being in, Canada, I can attest they must be a VERY hardy breed to withstand our climates.

I live in West Virginia and I absolutely love common snapping turtles! The wild ones are usually super grumpy and are a pain yo move off the roads. But I think they are my favorite. I've always played with the idea of having a pet snapper. I kept a baby for 2 days and let it go because I was worried about keeping it. Thank you for bringing one of my favorite animals into the spotlight on a positive side!

Just found a snapper on the side of the road and used his Method of picking up common snappers to bring him to a nice and big arse pond where he/she can roam to their heart’s content, and when they got into the water, they sped off into the pond.

They're cool to look at and their adaptations are amazing to study. That being said, everyone has an opinion. That's why they're are different herps for different people. I have two sliders. Love them. They're very sociable and goofy. Keeping a snapper would be the last on my list. I know people who love large snakes. I do not. They're a pain in the ass to me. I love my corn snakes because they have a calm demeanor, beautiful morphs, and their size is so easily manageable. Different herps for different people. Very nice video.

@valrdjem 4 года назад

There is a huge and very old wild common snapper that lives near here. He got hit by car at the beginning of mating season when they are travelling cracking his shell. I tried to get him help but no luck out in the boonies and I couldn't see a way to lift him without hurting him worse. He was gone a day later and I just thought he had died and the property owner disposed of him. Lo and behold 3 weeks later I saw him wandering again looking just fine outside of a new lump and scar. Tough critters indeed.

There's a huge snapper down at the pond of a park I hike. It recently emerged from bottom of pond near a dock when people gathered expecting to get something to eat. It had a massive head and a shell completely covered in green algae and must've weighed about 30 lbs. Plenty of food with fish and birds to eat. But if the food ever runs out, that big snapper will just plod down a street to another pond (or backyard) and look for dinner there. This summer, an Alligator Snapping turtle in Fairfax Va (way North of their range) was found on the sidewalk at night strolling to another pond after it ran out of fish in the pond it was living. It was 20+lbs. It shouldn't be whether these turtles make a good pet, can YOU be a responsible owner!

Never seen a snapping turtle 'basking'; they're pretty-much in the water except to lay eggs. I had a big tank with the water level where the turtle could keep his back feet and tale on the floor and stretch his neck so that his nose would breathe through the surface. He looked just like a Godzilla-type with the long neck, front legs hanging with the scales and claws, and the tale along the bottom with the raised plates like a Stegosaurus. Goldfish were cheap and gave him some exercise.

5:42 I one time removed a young snapping turtle from the road. It was about the same size as the small one Clint has. I got curious and looked over at his face, but my face must have been about a foot away. It snapped at me and got within a centimeter of my nose; I could feel the breeze from its snap. That was a close call...
