Hey hey does he bask at all?

[@Alligator.commonsnappers]

No, never.

[@zanderayers1011]

Hey what's a good whight for a yearling common snapper mine is about 2 oz and is looking fat

[@Alligator.commonsnappers]

That is a fine weight. Certainly not fat.

[@zanderayers1011]

Ok thanks his front arms and back legs look kinda chunky and it's my first turtle

[@Alligator.commonsnappers]

@@zanderayers1011 that’s very common for snapping turtles. They grow a lot during these years. They are a much more robust species than the majority of turtles people typically keep as pets like painted, sliders etc.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers ok I'll be looking forward to a bigger turtle, also I've managed to train him a little he will come to me on food days

[@Alligator.commonsnappers]

@@zanderayers1011 Yeah, they can get a little wild splashing at the surface when they want their food!
