Description: This does not go in tanks. As the name suggests, this is one turtle that commands respect. When disturbed, the snapping turtle does not hesitate to defend itself, but will strike with amazing speed and force. Because it is a large animal, its powerful jaws are capable of tearing flesh quite badly. Why doesn't the snapping turtle protect itself by simply hiding in its shell? For good reason; it simply cannot fit! The snapping turtle normally has a shell length ranging from 8 - 18 1/2" and has a tail nearly as long as the shell. The tail has saw-toothed keels on it. The shell ranges in color from dark green to tan to dark brown and can even be black in some individuals. Snapping turtles have characteristic tubercles on their necks and legs. Plastrons of snapping turtles are very small and leave much of the extremities exposed. Adult snapping turtles may weigh as much as 70 lbs.
