All things Alligator and common snapping turtles
Приєднався 21 жов 2016
I have been a snapping turtle hobbyist for over 35 years. Up until June 2023, it has been only commons but now we have added two Alligator snapping turtles to the mix and this page will be dedicated to all things Alligator and common snapping turtles.
A video about a minnow. This is a super minnow!!! He refuses to be eaten
I said 200 minnows but I just realized it’s far more than 200 minnows that he’s outlasted. He also spent time in the same tank as a common snapping turtle and eluded him as well.

First cleaning of the Fluval FX6 filter. How dirty did the snapping turtle make it in less than 2mo
Happens to my fx6 at about the three month mark. I found out it's the impeller magnet.You have to take it out every time you clean it and clean it good
@@scarletfire9812 For me I had to make sure the intake tube where it connects to the shaft was underwater. Now it doesn’t do it. It was sucking too much air
It’s like they only come up to breathe at night 😅
@@annepettit3855 they can stay down a very long time.
I got a 90 gallon snapping turtle tank with fish, you should add some dead moss, driftwood and live plants
@@Breydwildlife I have live plants and have used driftwood in the past
@@Alligator.commonsnappers yeah, mine likes to bury in my dead moss and driftwood.
- Lmaooo. Get yo daaamn foot out of my throat !! 😅😂
- How cute.
- They're gonna get eaten.
- Show more feedings.
- Where did you get those red lights for your tank?
@@blessedbeauty2293 Amazon. Hygger led light full spectrum. All of them have a red light night mode
- 1:41 The way they look at eachother as if saying, *"Well, what do we do now!? Explore?"*
@@blessedbeauty2293 Yeah pretty much ha!
- Look at the size difference of them. 😊
@@blessedbeauty2293 Yes, and the difference keeps getting bigger
How many animals do you have? How many turtles?
@@gedeonmalak We have 3 turtles but a total of 9 animals.
Is it your passion in your free time or kind of job?
@@gedeonmalak Free time hobby
U should put some live plants in there
@@Whymayitbe1 He eats them. I try and they get eaten.
@@Alligator.commonsnappers that’s great! Duck weed and hornwort float anyway so he can get a snack whenever, I keep hornwart with my snapping turtle and he loves it.
@@Whymayitbe1 I have used duckweed and they do eat it but it also gets sucked into my filters
@@Alligator.commonsnappers I use sponge filters so that it doesn’t get stuck
@@Whymayitbe1 I need to look into those! I’m sure they make something that goes over the mouse shaped FX intake
Hey, great content. I want to ask for some help. I recently changed my tank around for a baby snapper 2 -3 months old. Switched basking spot to real driftwood, raised the water level to about 4-5” and added more gravel. Soon after he spent a day basking in the same spot and I thought he was dying. Turtle won't eat the pellets he used to and seems a little shy and sluggish. I basically switched everything back… fake log, lowered water back to 2-3” and small water change. Only eating frozen bloodworms or live crickets now, won’t eat the pellets he used to. Basking temp 90 mercury vapor bulb Water 78 Change in environment scare the turtle? Impaction from gravel? (He seems to know not to eat it) Thanks!
@@austinanderson3393 Thanks. For a very young turtle like that I would certainly make sure they can get their head out of the water by just standing on their hind legs and sticking their head up. Everything seems good with the set up except I’d recommend no pebbles and going to sand. When they are older they can easily pass pebbles but very young turtles can accidentally swallow pebbles and it could cause issues in their digestive system. They like to dig down in the sand and sand is easier than rocks. I always keep baby turtles in a bit warmer water say 80-82. Once past a year old I’ll drop to 78ish. Mine are all 2+ years old so I have the water at 76ish.
Thanks for the response. Is it common for the turtle to suddenly stop eating pellets? Last thing, I’ve had him for almost 2 months and he’s usually going through some shedding…I believe that’s normal at this age?
@@austinanderson3393 shedding is normal. Did you feed him something he liked a lot more than pellets? Might want more of that. Mine like live minnows much more than pellets
Yes Ive been rotating bloodworms, cricket, and pellets. Best to just stick to with the live then? Trying to breed guppies in a separate tank for him.
@@austinanderson3393 Live is best for sure. Do you have access to a fishing bait store? Get a scoop of live minnows. Your turtle will love live fish to chase around. I’ve been feeding live minnows to all sorts of turtles for almost 40 years without an issue.
do you buy your fish from a pet store, bait shop, or do you catch them?
@@brodrickwenck4862 bait store and catch my own for them. Minnows and sunfish/crappie/ northern pike etc
Hi! Greets from Poznań, Poland! amazing channel! Do turtles try to attack fish?
@@gedeonmalak Hi and welcome. Yes, they can and do eat smaller fish in the pond and one ate a frog yesterday. Some of the fish are too big and fast for them though.

Smart little guy! Where will the Alligator Snappers go when they reach adult sizes???
@@criofthewild7237 stock tank/pond
Love you tank and turtle I have the same turtle and doesn't want to eat what you recommend if you know anything about it to help me
@@oscarolivares7232 Every snapping turtle I’ve ever had loves minnows. Find a local bait shop and get shiner or crappie minnows
Great video!!!! I love those two. Have you ever owned any other fresh water turtles???
@@criofthewild7237 Thanks. Yes, many. Mainly snapping turtles but also painted and red eared sliders over many years.
Nice vid as always!!! Do you think Alligators or commons are harder to care for????
@@criofthewild7237 Thanks! Alligator snappers are imo. They are more picky with their food and what they will eat and they require a bit more care with water perimeters. But I probably enjoy them a bit more due to their secretive nature.
Alligator snapping turtle License required ?
@@shuvohussein4076 Some states require a permit. But many do not. I didn’t need a permit.
@@Alligator.commonsnappers ❤️❤️❤️
I've ever seen those plants before?
@@S.MO.K The only real plants currently in this tank are the pothoes along the back of the tank sitting on that shelf above the water.
Did you see Clint's latest video on the snappy turtles?
@@dmc3489 Who’s Clint?
Over 1k in filters?! Dang man it better be clear water haha
@@MattKeepsFish No, a little under 500 for both filters. Have to keep an eye out for the specials. Bought both around Black Friday
@@Alligator.commonsnappers Good eye! They’d be over 1300 in my area right now lol
Where can I get that stand? It looks awesome
@@kennethaustria8557 Thank you! It’s my own design I built it. I have three videos pt 1, 2 and 3 of me building it a few months or so ago
Wish I had that tank for my Fishes, Amphibians, and aquatic Reptiles and other aquatic animals I had
@@TheIntelligentElephant71133 I hope you can end up getting one. I kept my eye out online and found mine used for a fraction of what it costed new. I then built the stand the way I wanted and painted the aquarium trim to match. Very happy with how it turned out.
@@Alligator.commonsnappers Yep me too
Great channel, I just got a common snapping turtle hatchling…debating feeding live food. Have you had issues with parasites or diseases affecting your turtles? Any advice on food?
@@AustinAnderson444 Thank you. I’ve been keeping snapping turtles for over 35yrs. I’ve always feed them live fish. Never an issue. They eat dead and rotting food in the wild. Their bodies are designed to do it.
Makes sense, thanks for the response. Subscribed 👍🏼
@@austinanderson3393 You’re welcome
Very nice setup, looking forward to more videos - glad your video popped up in my feed!
@@TeguBuzz Thank you.
cool setup man, I love the live plants on the surface. would you ever do a fully live plant set up?
@@BMDE570 Thank you! I would love all live plants but the turtles eat them
I want one in the future
@@CAR_enthusiast-z7v They are very interesting animals
I found a baby snapping turtle in horrible shape outside so I took him in and he’s doing way better
@@sam.lolzvr They are hardy animals
Love it! I used to have that same pond 270 gal from lowes. Now I have a 6000 gallon pond!
Sheldon!!!!
Where did you get the alligator snapping turtles from
@@AidenJacobs-wt9cq Loggerhead acres turtle farm
The pond is looking good!
@@crunchinfo Thanks Rusty. It’s starting to mature a bit with a growth of alge along the sides. The fish in there eat that as well as the snails. It’s becoming a little ecosystem
hi bro!, I need some help with my turtle, if you can help I will give you a shout out
@@sire_sirol What’s wrong with your turtle?
Not with my turtle with my situation @@Alligator.commonsnappers
@@Alligator.commonsnappers where can I talk? To you privately
Thanks for sharing. Would be so kind to tell us what filter you are using, and where to get one? Also, your pump information please.
@@markdecker2724 I answered these for you in the other video you posted your questions on. But the filter name is in the description of this video and the waterfall pump is the pond boss 2,300gph pond pump.
Great information. Would have enjoyed more about your pumps, and UV system.
@@markdecker2724 Thanks. The aqua garden in pond 600 5 in 1 is the pump for the fountain and that’s also the filter and has the uv sterilizer built all into it. Super easy. The pump dedicated to the waterfall is a pond boss 2,300gph pump. It is almost too powerful for my set up. I’d say 1,600 gph would be ideal. But I found it for a great deal and is working well.
😎👍🐢
@@TheJoker1200 it’s an easy filter to service.
@@Alligator.commonsnappers Nice and Convenient.
@@TheJoker1200 oh very. Plus it has the uv sterilizer and fountain
Great Pond😎👍, they'll grow big and healthy in there.
@@TheJoker1200 Thanks! They get some days in there but have to share it with the other turtles. Not at the same time of course.
@@Alligator.commonsnappers True true, a lot of people don't know that you can't have Common or Alligator Snappers in the same aquarium with other species.
😁👍
Looking Nice
@@TheJoker1200 Thank you. Lots of work
Chomp chomps with Godzilla soundtrack = 😎🤙
I have the same water nozzle 😎👍
Everything looks Amazing😎👍
@@TheJoker1200 thanks!
Nice, if it ever leaks you would have to reseal the whole tank because new silicone will not adhere properly to old silicone.
@@TheJoker1200 I hope that doesn’t happen
@@Alligator.commonsnappers Knock on wood. I resealed 4 of my tanks cause they were about 10 years old and 2 of them were out in the sun without water. If you need to reseal them you can use ASI Black Aquarium Sealant. I found out about it from SerpaDesign's UA-cam channel, he makes really cool Aquascapes.
😎👍
@@TheJoker1200 so little when this video was taken. A lot bigger now
@@Alligator.commonsnappers Yeah, I gotta catch up with your videos lolz. I'll finish them soon.
wonderful
Thank you
You out did yourself. Such an inspiration. Toot toot
Thank you. It’s still a work in progress
