Common Snapping Turtle, The Best Pet Turtle?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2020
- The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is my favorite turtle. It might be my favorite animal. Sure, they aren't as cool looking as alligator snapping turtles or the mata mata, but their awesome appearance along with their intelligence and personality just make them so incredibly special. But is the common snapping turtle a good pet? Is this monster turtle the best pet reptile for you?

@hhhk20 So? It's UA-cam, not a classroom. Looks like you have a unnecessary comma after "uneducated", BTW. ;)
hhhk20 it dosent mattr if he cant speell or use comas
hhhk20 Jesus christ dude, lay off it’s a comment section. Not everyone is as perfect as you
@hhhk20 I want you to go away and let people have their fun. Let them comment to say something funny and informative, they don't always have to use proper grammar and everyone here agrees.
@hhhk20 Jesus Christ calm down, Being grammatically correct in a UA-cam comment section is of no importance... Your over here ranting and getting butthurt over someone's comment on a reptile video.. like really? If it gives you pain seeing all of these uneducated comments just turn comments off, It's very simple.
“Big interactive water dinosaur” you really need to do a coffee table book of quotes and pictures.

Best line EVER
Everyone always asks "what is the best reptile?" but no one asks "how is the best reptile?" 😔
We live in a society
How's the best pet reptile?
Better yet... WHY is the best reptile?
😞
*visible confusion *
"...They're not the best looking turtles..."
*turtle* : "OK, that's enough, Ima leave"
My snapping turtle was my favorite pet to keep. I raised him indoors for 5 years and handled him almost every day. He loved getting walked and getting pet on the chin. He never bit at anyone but he got huge so now he lives in my pond and loves it
That’s fantastic- I’m glad he’s such a great animal!🙂
TIL how a Morla happens ; )
Wow that's fucking awesome. It seems like you aught to show more respect to an animal like this. I have to say if I got one and it didn't enjoy being picked up I wouldn't force it to lol.
Hope your snapper is still doing well I got a snapper couple months ago baby snapper named him oogway

Clint is running out of normal reptiles

I was just thinking about him the other day, glad he's well!! ✨
That"s actually fascinating, tell me more
@@bruceweiner5306 He came to us a 6-month old turtle. He turns 12 in Sept. and is just part of the family much like a dog would be. When I get him out he follows me wherever I go. In or out of the water he is as docile as a dog. He has a FB page Tank Gilfillan and a website tanktheturtle.com
@@thamnophis14 does Tank cuddle? Can you boop the snoot?
@@bruceweiner5306 when he's out with me we are usually face to face. I don't mess with his snout.
A friend of mine had a snapper named Bubba. She rescued him from some folks selling him for meat. He had a huge gash on his neck from the wire hanger they had wrapped around it to carry him. She nursed him back to health and he became the most gentle turtle. You could hand feed him worms and he would take them oh so gently. He was eventually released into a turtle sanctuary in his native habitat. Thank you so much for this very sweet and informative video!
That's horrible, it's a shame there are people like that in the world
Nipper looks like he really needs to use the bathroom at school but is too anxious to ask the teacher
You should do a tour of your house of all the enclosures. This place has to be huge for all the animals you have! Or even a daily routine of how you go about feeding/caring for all of them! Just a thought.
Good ideas!
yes please!
@@ClintsReptiles did u do it
@@HeyhitmeBAM yea idk
Now I know you said that the bite force isn’t THAT strong but I’ve had a lot of experience handling and feeding snapping turtles and I’ve seen a snapping turtle easily decapitate a fish. It’s not really just the bite force, more like how sharp that beak is and that they won’t let go.
Clint, did you really pass up an opportunity to name a snapping turtle "Whipper"? As in, a young whipper snapper???
Oh my gosh I have never even thought of that name, the only pun name I have thought of was Ginger snap, wow. I love it, lmao
Fantastic name!!
Young nipper snapper. Is close enough 😂
Bowser i think would also be good lol
😂😂😂😂
Bubba was ready to rock n' roll, not about to wait for a dumb camera! 😂
It was go time!
"Um, Generously proportioned..." lmfao
😁
The most clever (and polite) way to call someone overweight. This is why we love you Clint!
Still better then + sized.
Put that on my tombstone 😂
An older friend of mine was washing his hands off the edge of a dock after fileting some fish.
He was bitten by a common snapping turtle, which took off most of his pinky and did severe damage to his ring finger.
I realize this evidence is anecdotal and second hand, but I just wanted to share that they can, in fact, sever a digit.
But still, seems like a solid pet.
I think it all has to do with the way you are bitten
My family has a cabin on a lake, and our neighbor was out snorkeling when she saw a weird lump in the sand underwater. She poked it, and it turned out to be a baby snapping turtle, which took off the tip of her index finger
Yea I remember the video of coyote peterson's thumb. Sheesh that was not pretty
Are you sure they just didn’t mistake an alligator snapping turtle for a common snapping turtle?
i'm going to hazard a guess and say that friend bit on/near the joint?
regardless i'm not surprised, they can go through a carrot(requires about the same force as fingers to go through) even if it isn't the easiest thing for them to bite through
I love my Common Snapper, when tamed they'll never bite, and they act more like a puppy than any other turtle and they are more interactive than an alligator snapper. They are also more hybrid than most aquatic turtles so they do fine on land walks. I still wouldn't recommend them as a pet for how easy it is to not properly care for them, but I love that I'll have a life long pet. I hatched my own, I'd not reccomend taming a wild turtle.
Just to clarify a couple points in the video. Snappers do not need to bask like other aquatic turtles, so UVB isn't as vital as their diet satisfies that need. Mine loves to bask under a heat source (no light). They may be lazy swimmers but they are good swimmers in my opinion. Mine will inflate herself to float or sink as needed. Common Snappers aren't exactly as quick as fish are so it's a bit unnatural to feed a whole fish diet which I avoid with so many bones. But as a protein source mine loves cuts of fish, crawdad tails, and scallops.
That “whoo!” Was very Steve Irwin 😄
Hopefully he's rubbed off on me :)
I have a fun story for you i was fishing with my friends once and one of them cought a snapping turtle and i could still see the hook in the beak so i pulled it up onto the land and straddled the back to hold the back legs with mine and use one hand to hold it to the head and wire cutter plyers to snap the barbs and pull out the hook. My friends thought i was crazy and i just couldn't let it go with a hook in the beak
I did see that Steve Irwin pop figure in the back 👀👀
Clint, you have that child like glee when you're showing off these guys and it's endearing to see that. Most people wig out, and you're like "Man he's big..." such a blast watching you, keep safe and thanks for sharing these guys with us.
"Look how great this guy is! Like a hamburger c: " was smthn I could just see a small Clint saying too 😂
Clint: bubba calm down
Bubba: no
Clint: please
Bubba: I refuse to be on thy channel
I never thought someone could convince me that getting a snapping turtle would be a good idea until today 😂
You should do the 5 worst common pet reptiles, not to hate on the animal but as a way to educate future reptile keepers
That really is something that we should do soon.
Mr Balls I love this idea.
I totally agree. I've added it to my list.
Maybe "5 hardest to care for" rather than worst. Just a nicer way to word it.
u can tell this is one of clint's favorite animal when he cited a source just to explain his turtle. great video. now i will stop watching or else i might want to get another turtle.
You should watch, and get another turtle 😁
GET ANOTHER TURTLE WILHELM.
*DO IT.*
@Wilhelm Tan GET TEH THE SNAPPPERRRR
seriously, I'm four feet tall and been raising a rescued snapping turtle for two years.. Of all my animals he was the hardest learning curve but lead to alot of great times... If you REALLY love turtles , your life is better with one of these.
If it's reasonable.
I used to have one.
Feeding was a blast!
I found him in a sewage treatment pond, if hardiness is ever in question.
Thats a shitty situation
@@liquidsleepgames3661 why
@@alejandromelecio its a pun.
@@liquidsleepgames3661 I know I said why as a reaction.
Finally, someone else gets my fear of opening Pillsbury products! I make my husband do it for me, he thinks I'm crazy for being scared of it. Then again, he already thinks I'm a little odd for having two lizards, a pacman frog, and now a new B. Hamorii sling... 😁 Thanks for doing all these rad videos!
I hate opening those biscuit tubes. Scares the crap outta me. Lol
Replace every time he said Bubba in this video with Chunk, Clint has changed his mind.
Indeed.

I have a giant snapping turtle named fluffy. His face is so cute to me I sometimes forget he'd chew me up in a split second lol. Thank God I remember that before handling!! Lol
Alligator snapper. And you cant handle them unless they're babies so..
Turtle: *Waddles slowly*
Clint: "WOAH there! Slow down! You're really hard to film."
I read the title, and was thoroughly convinced it said "Come on, Snapping turtle" and wondered if Clint was doing a collab with Coyote Peterson. Side note: which would be awesome.

"He's like a hamburger." LOL forever. I just love you, Clint. I wish there were so many more people like you. You make me laugh and learn and your RESPECT for these animals as autonomous beings makes me so very happy. I have an adult Carolina mantis that I am ACHING at the prospect of losing in a month or three here, and I have always tried to respect her decisions. Only held her once to save her from an ant invasion.
I can boop her (gentle touch, back leg or "mantisbutt") and she kind of pearlclutches like WELL I NEVER, but she does NOT run or threat-display (you know that I AM CORNHOLIO thing mantises do, lol?) So I don't press the issue or do it very often. I offer her my hand gently and calmly and she checks me out busily with those antennae but has no desire to stand on my hand. BUT--she doesn't run away, as she's learned I won't hurt her, and I'm so honored by that!
A previous mantis would stand on the "door" on purpose so I'd open it and hold her--she'd eagerly trot into my hand! They all have their own little personalities and moods and reasons and boundaries, and I love and respect that YOU love and respect that, is the point of this ramble. They don't owe us anything . We owe THEM the best care and respect and love we can offer, and IMO that HAS to include letting them say NO unless there's a serious pressing danger.
I found you on Friday and you are so gentle and thoughtful regarding all of these wonderful creatures. Definitely have me planning my next reptile once I'm in a place to safely support one.
Ive seen a man on YT that has a large snapping turtle that follows him around like a puppy dog and loves his neck scratched. I was surprised that they could be that friendly.
Is it Gizmo?
Love snapping turtles 🥰 and aquatic turtles in general! Mr. Turtleman, my Cumberland slider, is such a joy to interact with & observe. Snapping turtles have such rad personalities 🤘
Growing up I had a green sunfish named Mr. Fishman :)
@@ClintsReptiles that is too cool! Love it 🥰
We have these in iowa, even helped one cross the highway. So much fun to watch.
Thank you for helping them out!!
Im from iowa too. I do this all the time. I usually try to drive them to a place thats far away from roads. I hate seeing the beautiful creatures get killed or hurt.
Handibility - three out of five - fine print - that's how many fingers you lose when trying to handle one...
Well see your wrong cuz they can't remove your finger. Ive gotten 3 stitches from a 45 lb snapper that nailed my pinky finger an it didnt even really hurt that bad just cut it
Big Z's Animal Adventures just because you haven’t lost a finger doesn’t mean they can’t. Alligator turtles can for sure, and I have personally seen a common bite a fairly large fish in half. With the bite force and the shearing beak it would be more than capable of removing a finger that ended up in its mouth. Every bite wouldn’t do it, but some probably could.
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 no that's just incorrect. Their beak is sharp enough to cause lacerations an some pain but they don't have enough jaw strength to break bone. A fish sure their bones are thin an brittle. An alligator snapping turtle easily could but a common snapping turtle is just not possible. Maybe a large enough male could maybe break a finger although highly unlikley. Ive worked with reptiles my whole life and im a senior in college in zoology an herpetology I know far more about reptiles then you or the guy who's comment I replied to. Do some research before believing every old story you hear
Big Z's Animal Adventures you are making assumptions about the knowledge of the people you are talking to without justification. I am a biophysicist and have significant experience with reptiles from working at zoos, an aquarium and two rescues. Humans have been shown to bite off fingers on many occasions, and they have to crush and rip... a turtle cuts, which requires much less force. Even if we assume they cannot break bone, they certainly could slice through a joint. As I said, not every bite would, but a lucky one absolutely could.
Edit: for anyone still curious, it has been well established that both common and alligator snapping turtles eat other turtles, including shells, in the wild. If a turtle can regularly crack open a turtle as a snack, I definitely wouldn’t trust them with my fingers.
@@bigzsanimaladventures4781 Is a joke BZ - I know that the common snapper isn't as dangerous as the alligator snapper - there's a UA-cam video floating around where some idiot had a common snapper latch onto his neck and he easily survived - doesn't stop that beak from being extremely intimidating looking though.
Honestly this has to be my favourite UA-cam channel. It's so informative and wholesome plus I get to see all the cool animals. I try to listen to your videos while I work but you are so enthusiastic while talking about them that I find myself switching between tabs constantly just to look at them!
I found mine as a half dollar sized baby in the cart room of the store I work in. He's now the size of nipper.
Diamondback terrapins are some of the most rewarding turtles to keep. They just get so excited to see you and genuinely are outgoing it’s crazy to me.
Clint is the best reptile education channel that I know. he shows passion for the animals he puts on video and says the pros and cons of a reptile honestly. I'm personally getting a bearded dragon and I've been wanting one for 6 years.
I have a little baby snapping turtle!😍 He's so cool! He's in a 55 Gallon right now but I have an out door pond for when he grows up.
One time when I was larping at a local park a snapper wandered onto our field. He was very unhappy, and I had to give him my sword handle to bite onto while we carried him back to the water! It still has bite marks on it haha
That makes for a good campfire story:
"I had to herd a mighty beast back to its underwater lair, using only my sword."
Why were you camping with a sword is the question i have.
@@Evilrose0611 "camping with a sword" is about 80% of what larp is lol
@@mortimerputnam2656 massive brain fart on my end. I have no clue why i read larping as camping. My bad.
Looks like you got a battle scarred blade :)
My red-footed tortoise loves pepperoni pizza. When he smells it, he comes to ask for it. I know he shouldn't have it but he demands it (pokes my foot with his beak until I give him some). I always thought they were only vegetarians, until I met my tortoise. He is large and already in her 20s. I have had him most of my life.
Of course they like pizza, haven't you ever seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 😅
@@vanillajack5925 hahaha. Never thought Kohki (my tortoise) was one of them. It all makes sense now.
@@mvanv 😅
LOL, turtles always have such unique personalities and quirks, people don't give reptiles enough credit when it comes to them having a personality.
@@herlocksholmeshasautism I agree. My grandma has another red-footed tortoise (his girlfriend) and I left him at my grandmother's for a while. When I came back Kohki (his name) introduced me to his girlfriend. He would not come when I called him, he started "clicking", as if calling me to come and meet his mate. When I approached him, he started rubbing his face against her shell. Super cute PDA. And then he approached me and gave me a peck (touched my fingers with his beak as he usually does). They are truly special and capable of showing affection. I love my tortoise.
I love Bubba, he's such a fun lad! Full of energy and joy, and like you said, he showed absolutely no signs of aggression even with all that handling and being in a space where he pretty clearly didn't want to stay lol. Delightful video
Your enthusiasm for the common snapping turtle is contagious! Very fun an informative video! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I live in West Virginia and I absolutely love common snapping turtles! The wild ones are usually super grumpy and are a pain yo move off the roads. But I think they are my favorite. I've always played with the idea of having a pet snapper. I kept a baby for 2 days and let it go because I was worried about keeping it. Thank you for bringing one of my favorite animals into the spotlight on a positive side!
I love how fresh he dressed just so he could show off his turt
Hi Clint! First time viewer here, but I really like the wholesome tone to your video. Thank you for putting this out into the world!
Loved the video, your were so informative and happy. Thank you for all the info. Thank you for the great video. 😊😊
One of these dudes almost made me wreck my car the other day. He was crossing the road and I swerved to miss him. Had I hit him though I think he would’ve flipped my car over lol
So, common snapping turtle meets uncommon strapping lad.
Love the videos. Keep the joy going in these odd times.
Lil Herc best description of our beloved Clint!
Tbh clint is the only youtuber that i'd stay and watch a 20+ min video with only talking and explaining things, this channel is so underrated
Great video. One of my fav animals,too. Grew up catching them in FL. The out takes on this are some of the best! Great work.
“He’s like a hamburger.” Absolutely sent me 😂
Hilarious how the turtle kept on trying to escape the scene, like
“I’m heading out mate, see ya!”
i just came across your video today... so glad i did tho!!!! i love the positive vibes man and the love for these animals. keep up the great work!
I really do love your videos. Very informative and easy to understand. I raised a couple snappers for a few years. Very docile and amazing animals. Thanks for the vid!
Clint: I’ve been watching Baba and his bite doesn’t seem that hard
Coyote Petersion: are you sure about that
That was an alligator snapper
i’m so glad you went over how to hold these guys because i’ve just been picking napolean up with a pair of barbecue tongs
😂
I stopped traffic yesterday for one of these guys to cross a rural highway. He was the coolest looking turtle I’ve ever seen.
OMG! I just found your channel. I've been a turtle guy since I was 5yrs old. I'm 63 now. I'm a northern Indiana northern Michigan area native my whole life. Of all the turtles I've caught in my life the common snapper, definitely, has the most interesting personality ... and I've caught a butt load of all the turtles in my area... from just hatched to as big as the seat in your truck. The older they are, the most blessed I feel I am to meet them and save them...
They're cool to look at and their adaptations are amazing to study. That being said, everyone has an opinion. That's why they're are different herps for different people. I have two sliders. Love them. They're very sociable and goofy. Keeping a snapper would be the last on my list. I know people who love large snakes. I do not. They're a pain in the ass to me. I love my corn snakes because they have a calm demeanor, beautiful morphs, and their size is so easily manageable. Different herps for different people. Very nice video.
There’s a decent sized creek that runs through my town and I once saw a snapping turtle pull a duck underwater. It must have been a pretty big turtle to do that right?
Maybe but yeah they do get pretty large
I worked at our local zoo and some ducks and geese laid eggs and hatched out in one of the ponds. After awhile we noticed that their were fewer and fewer babies in the pond. At first it was thought that the hawks and other raptors were catching them until a group of children and their parents watched a common snapper snacking on them. It was so elusive that they had to drain the pond to catch him. It was awesome.
I saw a video of a snapping turtle killing a porcupine the snapper held it underwater until it drowned to death then ate it. That’s pretty smart for a turtle.
For providing amazing bloopers I give the Common Snapping Turtle a five out of five! 😂 That was great! Your pets are beautiful! Best. Stay safe. 😎💯👍🏻❤️🙏🧼
Hey Clint, Ian here. It was fun meeting you and the turtle the other week. I didn't expect to see him again so soon!
I have a male I named him Scorpious. He eats fresh tilapia, shrimp, live minnows and water lettuce. He is about to get a 1000 gallon enclosure. I live in a 900 square foot house and eat hotdogs so my shell baby can live like a king.

Interesting you did this video, was just talking yesterday about the one I saved from the road. People make them out to be super vicious but that day I felt and witnessed another level of feeling when it looked back almost pleading in a way as I carried it away from traffic debating this "terrifying" nature.
Wow! Great video and amazing learning for the kiddos. Thank you for sharing
I think this was my favourite video of yours that I’ve seen to date. The way there appeared to be an actual bond between Clint and the animal was a cherry on top I don’t usually get to see.
Scratch that, the bond between the animal and Clint. Clint loves then all, but it was neat seeing the signs that the animal was comfortable with Clint specitically.
The best way to do a snapper pet is to overwinter a baby one, and rerelease it when it gets warm again. I did this every year for most of my teen years. They're super fun
Bubba must be chilly, he keeps walking towards the sunlight
That's was a wonderful surprise!!!! I wondered when this video would pop up. I'm from Ohio and it always blows my mind that these things are roaming around in our waterways. I've had to move a couple out of people's yards and off busy roads a couple times, and I am astonished at how cool they are every time I put hands on one. They are excellent! They get a solid 5/5 for awesomeness in my book!
I had a pet common snapping turtle for 5 or 6 years when growing up in Houston TX. He was as gentle as the one you show here. Also as big. Because he was handled almost daily he tamed down nicely. After I graduated High School I released him back into the wild. He was my favorite animal. Thanks for the good review of this great animal.

As an avid Kayaker, I run into these all the time. They are always labeled as aggressive, but the Snapping turtle in water is very reasonable. Honestly, I am terrified of a "Beautifully Graceful Swan" over a group of snapping turtles.
The waterfowl are prevalent on the lake I kayak and sometimes they are "victims" of motorboats. Once in a while, I will find a couple of Snapping turtles feeding on the dead. They are always a welcome sight to me.
As for a pet, I just don't think so. Only because they deserve huge water feature to explore
Yeah swans and geese can be assholes. They're also huge, can fly, can honk.
Ive seen them in a lot of sewage treatment plants actually. Basically bomb proof
Your opening **THIS**... had me thinking I was about to learn about all the "quirks and features" of the Common Snapping Turtle, and I wasn't disappointed. 🤣

Omg I was just watching the video on the alligator snapping turtle!! I was waiting for this video!!!
So I've shared this video a bunch of times because I live in their native range, and they are probably second only to our eastern box turtles to be most commonly in the road, in a dangerous place, and needing to be relocated. I occasionally see debates on social media about how best to handle them, (often people swear by picking up even big turtles by their tails 😢) so I share this with a "skip to" time for handling.
I actually just moved a snapper off the road the other day - my first turtle this spring. He was little bit bigger than nipper was in this video, and the most well mannered wild snapper I've ever met. I wanted to take him home.
But thanks for being you and thanks for sharing awesome, informative content!!
0:37 I disagree. The snapping turtle is the coolest looking of all 🐢
I’ve never heard of anybody having to run down a turtle until now 😂
Loved this! 💜 A very cool change from the desk! In the future it may be cool for the camera to follow the turtle around (unless it's too unreasonable).👍
Or put a camera on the turtle
