What Kind Of Snapper Do I Have?

He is able to climb out of the water but he never does. Is that normal? He only sticks the tip of his nose out for short periods of time.

    There are three species of snapping turtles, and with out a photo or more information there's no telling which kind you have... But if you enter "snapping turtle" in Google images you will more than likely be able to identify the species you have.  Snappers are not social creatures and can become vicious when removed from the water, they will on occasion come out to bask, but only if there is no one/nothing around and will skittle back into the water at the first sound or sign of movement... They prefer to keep themselves buried in the mud with only their nostrils and eyes exposed.



    (they will often kill other turtles in their territory, so need to be housed alone.)
