@@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.
my snapper mostly basks when i take him outside with me but its always a nice sight seeing them use their basking rocks
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
@@dsbanimals4010 same here lol

The year old hatchling I raise I've never seen it bask. Is this normal for a young snapper?
No he just started doing it. But he also likes when I get him out of his pond and let him walk around.
