That's awesome! Snappers are definitely my favorite and were my first pet turtle.

They are a bit too angry for me... I'd rather deal with a big snake, but whatever it takes to keep em safe. Funny video...Kid likes Turtles.

We have a two acre pond and another smaller pond and we have massive snappers! They are humongous, and horribly mean, but for the lilfe of me I like them!
