Thank you needs a lot of work

Taking them outside in the sun is always a good idea and fun for us watching them. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy walking my snapping turtle

@@siicklyy ya she is a chunk. She is super sweet

No he just started doing it. But he also likes when I get him out of his pond and let him walk around.

@@dsbanimals4010 This little guy still fits in the palm of my hand. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to support his growth and development. His name is Little Foot. I imagine when he is grown his name will be Big Foot! Haha

@melissagarland3477 love the name little foot. Reminds me of my childhood. Onyx seemed to grow slowly at first then he just got big fast. I feed onyx small amounts every day. Shrimp, tilapia, mice and he likes cuddle bone it’s a good source of calcium. Well, he eats the calcium sometimes. They also say 30 minutes of sun is like all day under the lights we give them.

@@seanhenderson6285 it’s a 500 gallon. No brand it was an abandoned spill tray from the oil field. Took a lot of cleaning but came out nice 😊

@@dsbanimals4010 Thanks. That's a nice size for sure.

It works for me. My snapping turtle Onyx is now almost 13 pounds.

Wow need to catch up on your videos then I just got a terrapin and I find them so personable

@nelsondelgadofeliciano4653 my box turtle’s are like puppies there a lot of fun also and onyx is really good for a snapping turtle.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers I work with chemical making sure oil is good to sell. Been doing it for 10 years now. West Texas oilfields

Thank you. He is a good turtle 🐢

I definitely appreciate it

Thank you

Thank you he is a lot of fun to take care of

True. I’ve got so used to them they don’t feel heavy anymore.

As soon as you said that, he winks at the audience.. 😉 "yeah I am!"

Nice. They are a lot of fun to take care of. Onyx will be 3 years old in October

Thank you. I enjoy him. He is a lot of fun.

They do very good being handled. A lot better than they used too. They were wild box turtles someone else had. I took them to give them a better home. They do better and better every day. I know they’re happy.

@@dsbanimals4010 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for giving them a happy home. :)

Thank you for the confidence boost

Thank you. I needed to hear that.

Thank you

Once the days get warmer and stay warmer I’ll get him out and weigh him again. I like to let him walk around in the sun. ☀️

Onyx. Like the rock type Pokémon.

He or she? Borrowed underground with mom and dad before I had a chance to move he or she inside. Crossing my fingers hibernation goes well. So ready for spring and them all to wake up.

You would think so but he did great. He is now 11 pounds and in a 500 gallon pond loving life. Common snapping turtles move so mush just wanted to give him as much room as possible.

His shell Is 11 1/2 inches long and 8 inches wide. Just weighed in at 11.2 pounds. His pond is 8 foot long and 5 foot wide. Has 17 inches of water all over.

@@dsbanimals4010 he’s huge now. How old again? I found a used 180gal aquarium for my common. It’s 6’x2x2. Water tested for a week. Took four of us to move it in the house and downstairs. Should be good for awhile I hope. My commons shell is about 6” long.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers onyx turned 2 in October

I definitely agree. These goldfish started off as feeder fish. Turtles befriended them.

Ya and he knows it also.

Thank you. We are in love 🥰

@@dsbanimals4010 Easy to see why 😊👍🏼

Onyx just turned 2 in October. He eats tilapia, shrimp, mice, live fish, crawfish oh and he loves chicken 🐔. Had him since he was a hatchling. Definitely plan on recording more videos.

I do a lot of shorts on him also.

@@dsbanimals4010 He is huge already. I have two commons and two alligator snappers and do videos on them also.

@Alligator.commonsnappers nice I just subscribed to you

@@dsbanimals4010 Nice! Me too

Oh ya he is and is really good also. He lets me handle him with little trouble.

@@dsbanimals4010 how old is Onyx?

@sumiskam turned 2 in October. He was hatched in October don’t know what day. So I say his birthday is Halloween.

Ya they get along really well. Baby is hard to find. But when I do he or she is with mom and dad. Mom and dad are like puppy dogs. They come out when I call them.

@@dsbanimals4010 Thats so cool!

I know right 🤗 but so hard to find. I got lucky finding him or her that day.

Nice wound love to see and thank you
