Snappy the FRIENDLY Common Snapping Turtle 

Dude, this guy is gonna go viral. I knew you had something special when we exchanged texts about it. Great educational animal.

He is so friendly! I love him!

back when i was a child on a local market they use to sell that kind of turtle, i didnt know what it was and if it was dangerous. tbh i like it how this one its so frendly

I love watching any reptile being allowed to make choices and do what they want

I LOVE SNAPPY!!🥰 (note: Common Snapping are the most underestimated reptile species, in my humble opinion… they are very intelligent animals, & learn & remember their owners & surroundings! Many also enjoy interacting & like the attention!!😊😊💚) •••GREAT video, & very informative, to even experienced keepers!!•••

Incredible turtle, my snapper is like a puppy they are such an amazing species. That turtle shell ring is awesome

Snappy & Gizmo should hang out

Love to see where you house the turtles. Especially the bigger ones like snappy. Snappy seems to love a walk in the yard!! Thanks for the education. Love love love to see this in Indiana!!

I love it when turtles do their classic: stand still, stretch out their neck, check surroundings and slowly do a 180 and go the other direction. I've only had a Red Eared Slider, but I'd kill to raise a CST from a baby.

Thanks for taking such good care of Snappy

of course hes a goodboy

Where is the Chelonian Ranch? Thanks for taking care of Snappy

EH?!?! what a coincidence this is my first time seeing this video and I have a baby common snapping turtle named snappy who does not even get defensive when I take him out the tank. 😁😱

Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed

I trust what this guy says. He has the hat of a wildlife expert

Beautiful turtle 🐢

When I was kid we had a brook at the end our street named blackbrook and we used to fish it all the time. Well one time I get what I thought was a huge snag but was slowly coming to shore so I figured a log or stump but it ended up being the biggest snapping turtle I ever saw! Normally when we'd catch a Snapper we'd get it to bite onto a stick so we could unhook them and set em free. Except this guy would not bite the stick no matter what! It got to the point where we got braver and braver and eventually I started petting his neck, then his head and eventually unhooked him by hand! He even opened his mouth for me(which scared me at first but he just held it open while I pryed on the hook) once unhooked we got so excited and got all the neighborhood kids. We ended up getting a Rubbermaid tub filling it with water and put it and him onto a wagon and took him to show all our parents. They couldn't believe it either except my mom. She said he must have been a pet who got released or just had been caught by so many kids he knew the routine by now. We named him Big Earl The Snapping Turtle and after that we saw him all the time! He'd bask in the sun right next to us while we fished and we'd always feed him a couple sunfish. It got to the point that when we started fishing we'd see this giant head pop out of the water, look at us then submerge again and all of a sudden the fish near the shore would freak out then he'd come climbing out of the water to sit next to us. God I miss my childhood and Big Earl!

LOVE the rings…. Especially the TURTLE shell!!😊💚

Mine is exactly that size. He calms down after being out for a few minutes. Loves climbing all over the place.

Pretty Guy

I think I also have to always handle my cst so it will be like snappy, a friendly snapping turtle.

Thank you for giving the facts straight, they only seem very agressive when taken out of their aquatic environment and interacted against their will, its fun to see quite a few videos online and from divers in fresh water environment where huge snapper are very friendly and only seem inquisitive !!! Your snapper is beautiful by the way, his face is very cute ! He reminds me a lot of other famous youtube snappers (namely Tank and Gizmo) , what a good mannered terrapin.

Very interesting and informative. Cute Snappy

Years ago, I rescued a huge snapping turtle from a multi lane highway...it was a hot day and it was really mad. I have no idea how I did it, but I ran across 4 lanes to get him away from the concrete barrier

Awesome video. I find all Snapping Turtles fascinating

Такая хорошенькая, пухленькая!💞💞

"if they bite down they can actually go -down to-* the bone in your finger" *Through Look up traumatic snapping turtle injury

I have always loved snapping turtles! How old is Snappy and how much does he / she weigh? Have a great day🐢

Yo, very informational, love to see it.

So he like the other snapping turtle name Gizmo

I mean I love turtles as much as the next turtle nerd, but let's talk about those rings! Someone gets me!! You can love chelonians and be jewelristically fashion forward at the same time 😎

I wonder if he is looking for his first owners?

Nice turtle!

fascinating beautiful animal 🙂

Ours was called snappy but my wife call him happy instead. Ours let us pick him up often and we talk to him often. Ours darts after the pellets during game feeding time. We learned they love warm water and are more active in warm water. We take ours out in the sun during summer for bathing.

Oh my lord a snappin Turla

My snapping turtle is the exact same way
