Snapping Turtles are very unique turtles in that their heads are so large compared to the rest of their bodies, that they can’t withdraw them into their shells in defense. That’s why they use their hard bite that they’re known and named for to protect themselves. They have a ton of personality and as you observe your Snapping Turtle, you’ll realize just how big their appetites are.

It’s really important that you feed your Snapping Turtle the right foods so that they have optimum health and live with you as long as possible. Each Snapping Turtle comes with a care sheet and its very own adoption certificate. We offer everything you’ll need at TurtleShack.com to give your Snapping Turtle everything it needs to be happy, no matter how big its appetite is!
