- SNAPPING TURTLES IN THE HOUSE!!! Dave and Jeremy compare the 2 types of snapping turtles in this fun episode. With super close ups and close calls with snaps aimed at the face, we talk about keeping them as pets as well as the differences between the two.
COMMON SNAPPING TURTLE LAYING EGGS: • Snapping Turtle laying...
I have both a common and an alligator snapping turtle. They did share a tank with some tire track eels, rope fish, gar, and Aropama’s. They stayed together until about they were both 2 years old. The common snapping turtle grows much much faster than the alligator snapping turtle, so my common snapper (Spike) was like 3x the size of the alligator snapper (Saw). Now they are in separate small ponds.
That’s awesome! Snapping turtles are some of our favorites and you can definitely keep a lot of turtle species together as banques like you did. It’s good to hear you separated them once bigger as eventually something bad would happen. Sounds like they both have a nice set up! Thanks for commenting.
Hey guys awesome video, I have a 8 month old common snapper he is a rescue and he's so cool to take care of. His name is Molasses and is thriving!. Just thought I'd share. Everyone loves him. Thanks
Molasses! That’s a great name. That’s really cool that you have one as a rescue. Glad you enjoyed the video and we appreciate the comment. 👊🏼
I sure learned something here. I "thought" we had alligator snappers in middle Tennessee, but I guess they are common snapping turtles. Either way, they are i'll-tempered and will get you. people fishing in ponds catch them sometimes. Great video guys, thanks for sharing !
Common snappers are no joke. I've caught some 20 plus pounders. They're pussy cats if you leave them be, but snag one on your fishing pole....look out, they will mess you up if you put your hands anywhere near them.
@@NatureInYourFace That’s exactly what we’ve experienced and I picked one up by the shell once, to move it out of a road. Mistake. It just about got me and I’ve seen what they do to a big stick. Didn’t know they could reach back like you explained here. Yes they can.
I have a Common Snapping Turtle here in the Philippines... Thank you guys for this very informative video.
You’re welcome! They are great turtles!
Super interesting! I kept watching your fingers and their mouths...snackie snacks!
Haha yea we definitely have to be aware of our finger placement at all times. Thanks for Watching and commenting. 😃
I have 3.An Alligator Snapper named Pumpkin,a Common named Spot and a Florida Snapper named Charlie Chomper
That’s awesome! Like the names for the turtles as well.
They are beautiful!
Agreed! I wish more people were like u and could see the beauty in animals like this.
Do snapping turtles have nerves in their shells?
If you very lightly ran your finger across the shell, would they feel it?
Yes they have nerves and blood vessels throughout and although not as sensitive as the skin, they can feel it when you touch the shell. They’re pretty incredible animals.
the shells look awesome
Yea buddy! They are unique turtles for sure.
I've got a boy and girl alligator snapping turtles.. both a little over 5 years old... just got my first house so I'm gonna make a in door out door enclosure hope that they will get huge after being in a huge area instead of a fishtank
Heck yea that’s how you do it! They will love a big water area. Ours loves to sit under his cypress tree stump and ventures out at night.
What type of turtle does that giant shell on the bottom right belong to?
A Peninsula Cooter “Pseudemys peninsularis”

Those turtles are BEAUTIFUL, & hilarious… trying to sneak in some OVER the Shell snaps, & also staring EACH OTHER down!!!😂💚😊
Thank you for sharing them; a great video!
You can never be late to the party when talkin bout turtles! It's obvious that you're quite the turtle enthusiast yourself. It's great to see so many cool girls involved in the herp community, spreading the good word, so thank you for that. Love the names of your snaps! Thanks for commenting and keep up the good work!
love that you guys wear patriotic attire 🇺🇸🇺🇸. excellent quality guys
Screw Brandon, nuff said!
I still remeber when you came to Illinios to a middle school I've been seeing your videos ever since and Inwas a former student
Awesome....thanks for being such a loyal fan! What school did you go to and was it Jeremy or Dave who did the show? Thank you for commenting!
It was Black Hawk Middle school over in Bensenville Illinios
Been there many times....always a good time!
I have A question please ....can a baby alligator turtle leave together with a baby snapping turtle ? In the same tank? And when both grown up still can leave together or not ?
They might be ok together as babies but they cannot stay together once they start to get hand size. They will kill each other or very badly injure the other. An alligator snapper but the tail of a common snapper at a museum I worked at. So bad idea to keep them together.
Thank you so much
@@NatureInYourFace no they will kill each othet to death
I have an alligator snapping turtle I’ve had 17 years name happy
That's cool, how big is it? I'm guessing it's a beast considering how long you've had it!
I didn't catch their names, but I'm calling Jeremy's turtle Tokka, bc you know, Ninja Turtles 🐢
Nice! That’s a good one.
@@NatureInYourFace thanks! and I'm aware you discussed their names for like a solid 2 minutes. my comment was just teasing at Jeremy for not agreeing to the name of Dave's turtle and wanting to use a Ninja Turtle name.
@@imananonymoususer 😂 well played. -Jeremy
Which turtle is your favorite and which name is better for the Gator Snapper “Raphael” or “Ginsu”?
Just trying to help it's not Rafael it's Raphael and has a big tmnt fan that's my favorite name.
Hey you’re right!! We’ll edit it. Thanks. TMNT for life!!
Your welcome
So cool
Thanks! Now catch up on all the videos 😆
Do you guys know if the Florida snapping turtle Is a subspecies? Then a common is a full species?
Some people have referred to the common snappers of Florida as “Florida” snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina osceola but most academia never recognized that and Ibthink now they are just referred to as common snappers or Chelydra serpentina.
@@NatureInYourFace thanks! One more thing. Is it snapping turtle or Common Snapping Turtle or does it matter? I appreciate it!
Common snapping turtle
Can they breed with each other ?
No, these to species would not be able to breed. If they could, that would be one bad azz animal! Thanks for commenting!
What is the size of that Female Common snapper??? Is that fullgrown sir???
It is an adult but they can get much bigger than that. It was about 15” and 8 lbs in this video.
The turtles be like me want the ground, let me down
Or “me want to bite your face human”.
This is awesome . But I don’t want to get bit .
Haha definitely not. 😃
@@NatureInYourFace That made me laugh 🤣
Alligator snapping turtle have a bigger head than common snapping turtle
Yes they definitely do.
Is it Rafæl?
No, but it could be his drunk, psycho uncle that likes to bite and sever fingers. 😃
Is what Rafael? The alligator snapping turtle’s name is Raphael. That’s how the TMNTs turtle’s name is spelled.
First? 🐢🐢🐢🐢
You beat the hare 🐇
Guinsoo sounds like a living weapon.
Raphael sounds lazy and a rip off ninja turtles
