Hello friends! You can now vote for your favorite name choice for the alligator snapping turtle in this video. Go to our KZbin channel page and at the very top click the "COMMUNITY" tab. There you will see the poll going on. The winning name gets announced next week!

[@ZosteraM]

I suggest “Sela” for the snapping turtle. This means “saddle” in Brazilian Portuguese. Her shell reminded me of a saddle.

[@jadedjaws4952]

That's a great idea and a beautiful name!

[@aunti-maim1495]

I was thinking Sadie for Saddle I know some people may think that unkind but sometimes you have to claim what makes you different

[@johnlee-ki1sg]

cool!

[@asianforlife96]

this is genius and creative

[@zelda4lifeschramm]

Awwe yes

[@peepercoco]

That alligator snapper looks like a "Mary Shelly" to me.

[@aunti-maim1495]

🤣

[@carschmn]

Oscar sounds just like Otis down to not liking other turtles and fearing nothing. 3:33

[@aunti-maim1495]

He also has similar facial expressions. Sort of like how you will meet a kid not at all related to that one precocious cousin of your's who is chatty and has a certain way of talk but they look and talk and act almost exactly the same

[@tiachandler5350]

I think Aella would be a great name for her in Greek it means warrior, fighter and it's a cute name and that little lady is definitely a fighter

[@JamTex1965]

I have to agree. Great name for an amazing snapping turtle. I second that.

[@emi_oh]

Piglet for the tail

[@MultiPetercool]

Oscar & Otis are Bros.

[@sos3309]

The animals luck ... you're there ...

[@Future9]

Impressive how great your production quality has gotten. Great edits & touches!

[@Luckiekatie]

Chaurli is the giant tortoise that lives above Freya's home, as thanks for having saved her, since she was confined to the forests of Midgard, without escaping from the Aesir. After everything she deserves a bad ass name!

[@aunti-maim1495]

What a wonderful name

[@zelda4lifeschramm]

Beautiful name and amazing story

[@Luckiekatie]

@@aunti-maim1495 rite?!

[@DudeEM]

For some reason, I want to name the alligator snapping turtle Carmen……as a reminder that Carmen Elektra is “curvaceous.” 😁

[@aunti-maim1495]

Carmen if the opera is famous for snapping casinets and snapping eyes

[@bryonflaherty5957]

I have three hybrid box turtles that I got as hatchlings that are doing amazing because of your box turtle hatchling care video . Two of them have 4”carapace already and they actually get along very well with the exception of a nip or two when they all eat at once .

[@spectorphilspector]

The quality of GST’s videos just keeps getting better and better! Brava Casey, nice work.

[@spectorphilspector]

Also a name suggestion. “Bendita”, and it means blessed, like this little spirit is blessed to be at GST.

[@aunti-maim1495]

A lot if channels don't put the money into getting and more importantly the TIME and EFFORT into learning how to use the physical and digital equipment and programs to make this quality of video. Besides helping to fund their project these videos really are educational and as such it's great to see them put so much effort to make them so professional looking

[@GardenStateTortoise]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🙏🏻

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you!!!!

[@Arcege]

I like the name Curly-Sue for the aligator snapping turtle. Thank you for showing us what the aquarium is doing.

[@barblane4020]

I love your channel. Because of the care and incredible commitment, I am unable to have a tortoise. Thank you for doing the work you all do. How about Cinderella

[@jannaj2719]

Oh and about Mystic, I’m from RI and have gone there so many times! Such an amazing place .

[@jenniferadams7911]

Connie because her shell is concave

[@katefranz9328]

Your new snapping turtle looks like “Clementine “ to me.

[@MultiPetercool]

Ever before Finding Nemo, I’ve had a thing for the the Hawaiian Honu. I remember visiting Punalu’u on the Big Island. There were a number of them there. Ticked me off when a Japanese tourist knocked on the shell of one that was basking on the black sand beach. 😡 “Gimme some Fin… Noggin… Duuude!” 😉

[@dreyhawk]

I am envious sometimes. I wanted to start a reptile rescue here in SC but live intervened and now I am in my 60's. So I really enjoy watching these videos. I would love to know the reason behind Rosies unusual coloring and if it might be something that would pass on to babies.

[@Immagiraffe101]

I can tell you’re the kind of guy that is an expert on everything.

[@lynndudek4441]

Best video ever.

[@BrooklynHudson]

Fly River are my absolute favorite. Love Love Love Oh, and a name for the snapper... Wedge :)

[@THECOMBUSTIONGAMER]

Yeah seaworldorlando has the largest program here in Florida to help raise and replenish our coral!

[@rebeccaadams5512]

I like Scarlet for the snapper. She's got a flair for drama...🐢🦄

[@jimcostantino6244]

Love Jenks Aquarium just couple miles from me. Nice seeing you help them out. Thanks for the video

[@sos3309]

Call her lucky ....

[@kidtruck9157]

I like Dip as a name

[@stefanmaciolek6540]

Glad they have a pine barrens exhibit cause with the way development is going around here they won't be here in 20 / 30 years

[@carmelaszymanski8232]

With All You Do. I LOVE You

[@pmanzano4474]

You make reptile so interesting! Thank you for the education.

[@jannaj2719]

I absolutely adore your videos! Thank you so much for educating me every video you put out, and making me laugh too. Can’t wait to se updates on this snapper. She’s a survivor that is for sure! Just to make it out of the egg alive amazes me.

[@Handsome0326]

거북이사랑

[@shanakeel5653]

Love your videos! Thank you for helping so many reptiles

[@maxrhiabelleagilityclass4836]

Love turtles, love you and your wonderful videos. I have learned so much.

[@jnorman5390]

My Google news feed led me here and I couldn't be more happy 😊 great video, keep it up!

[@ernanick5598]

“Tati” that name so amazing for the snapping turtle ❤

[@MaryRZ66]

Son dos tortugas que son afortunadas porque van a tener una segunda oportunidad y seguro les vais a dar una buena vida. Ya que estamos cerca de Navidad yo propongo de nombre Ginger

[@jacquiebee3103]

Another great video! Also, I think Allie is a good name for her. 😊

[@alc7020]

Fantastic tour and educational video.

[@wren0287]

Snapper could be named Dipsea

[@naysahlewis3296]

I suggest “Dipper” for the alligator snapping turtle because of the big “dip” in her shell. Also great video!!!

[@WillieWeed]

I can't immediately think of a name for the Alligator Snapping turtle, but my answer would be to ask Greg @ Greg's Turtle Haven here in Georgia. Nobody knows that species better. And I would go with his recommendation. Also, are you able to tell which division, or river system she would belong to? Greg swears they only come from river's that feed into the Gulf of Mexico. When I've caught dozens from 85 thu 2005 in the river's in the more mid Eastern part of our State that have feeder creeks going in both directions. So I'm very curious as to which system she was taken from.

[@fortheearth]

Thanks for making this interesting video, and for your ongoing conservation work. I suggest you call that poor snapper "Hope."

[@tamarrajames3590]

Thanks for taking us along with you, they have an amazing facility there, and are doing very important work. It is great to see you working with so many other accredited bodies to improve the future for so many creatures. There are key species in every ecosystem, many that go unrecognized and unappreciated. These systems are so delicate that the loss of one species, or the introduction of one invasive species affects all the rest. Thanks for doing what you do to help minimize the damage. Your new Snapping turtle reminded me of Baba Yaga, a Russian Witch whose fairytales I grew up on. Something in her colouration and her wide open mouth lol. I hope she has a long and comfortable life with you.🖤🇨🇦

[@aunti-maim1495]

Yes she seems very OLD but in that "I know things you can't imagine kid" kind if way

[@janecotelos2240]

Dippity Do... great video, like a mini vacation!

[@bethyoung3654]

Such an awesome video! Thank you for all the work you do to help these animals.

[@monicayoungblood8557]

Great video AS ALWAYS❤️🥰

[@loispadgett6306]

Some special and very lucky turtles found a every home with your family. I think Precious would be good name for the allagater snapping turtle she is beautiful and precious. GOD BLESS and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS🐢💖🐢💖🐢💖🐢💖

[@russellmeridith3209]

Pixie for the alligator snapping turtle

[@carmelaszymanski8232]

I Send Oscar my Love also.. Just as much as OTTIS

[@drandy.youtubechannel1436]

[@aprilbolivar4719]

[@caffienatedtactician]

11:50 fellow long islander!!!

[@sbaroke]

How about Quasimoda 😅

[@TheLawlessangel7176]

[@danriley5848]

Great video as always and I'm glad to see that these animals will be in great care. I hope that you guys have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. 🎄

[@katherineg9396]

I'll be going to that aquarium when I'm back in NJ.

[@laurencarleton236]

Okay, I think I'm in love with Rosie. I think she's just beautiful. 🥰

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

My other suggestion for the snapping turtle is “Bailly” another lunar (moon) impact crater, to the left of my first suggestion Tycho another lunar impact crater.

[@johnpisarek5336]

I like the name Dipper. I think it suits her!

[@kristofnagyvari5498]

Call her Dipsy

[@wendyscorporation5468]

Cool!

[@farmergirlangie3469]

Spicy for the snapping turtle

[@debrascheer4577]

What treatments did they do for the box turtle for her dry skin

[@sarastewart2035]

2/18/22 happy Snappy 11:08 🎉❤

[@isaacg8473]

dipper for the alligator snapper!!

[@ninolover6286]

You should call the snapping turtle Bumpy. 🐢

[@maxrhiabelleagilityclass4836]

Queenie

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

AST should be called Squish, cos it looks like someone squished her. And it's cute and so is she, hope she has a long, healthy life.

[@mikeyiacovone89]

Sandy(from the movie Grease)

[@jackafucknwoo]

Flosbury. After the high jump style when your back is arched.

[@CLINTONJOHNSONIII]

Jinkies like vhelma use to say from Scooby-Doo lol

[@irenehurtig266]

I suggest star and thanks for all your excellent work and merry x mas.

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Snapping turtle- “Tycho” comes from one of the moons CRATER, specifically the big one people see at the bottom left of the moon.

[@loriw2661]

“Jenk” after Jenkinsons. 🐢❤️🐢

[@jenniferbeasley9966]

Names for snapper, Greta,Tazz spazz ,Beauty,Splash thanks for sharing 💚🐢🐢

[@patrickslaby69]

I was at that aquarium in the summer, it is an awesome aquarium, great to see the behind the scenes of some of these zoos/aquariums, one question do you think the gator snapper ( I’m offering the name saddle) will have the ability to reproduce?

[@aunti-maim1495]

I think it could kill her

[@lisagray8932]

I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ all the seal's 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love the turtle's🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ all the animals there beautiful and cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ soooo adorable and amazing pet's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ There smart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and special ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Your doing great 😃👍 with the animal's there God bless 🙏😇😇🙏 them there down in Florida I'll be your friend's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄⛄to the animals and you all happy holidays

[@kelleyrancher]

That little box turtle girl is just Charming she's going to be another oldest you can just see she walks so confident with her head up like she's ready to Take On The World her an oldest and make a great pair they'd have wonderful babies together but I know your main function is not breathing I'm just saying

[@jeanwonnacott2718]

How about Lotus, for new beginnings? Your new girl snapper deserves a great name!! Jeannie in Lakeport California

[@beverlyjensen443]

For the Alligator Snapper: of course Allie is one name, Saddleback is another. Perhaps Urnie (urn-shaped), Lucky, and hopefully she is! Or Gracie?

[@shaunaclark9479]

Curly for the snapping turtle with curly tail.

[@TheHamishX]

Could name her Glynis. It's a welsh girls name meaning valley.

[@jenniferatkinsreptileart]

Thank you for the tour of the beautiful aquarium and for helping. My daughter likes "Morgan" for the name of the snapper.

[@jleaware]

"Miss Piggy" is my name selection.

[@lukeskywalker5705]

I think Dipsy would be a good name : )

[@gabrielamacias4116]

Curvalicious...... fun to say 🤣

[@JoyIreland89]

Angie short for Angela or Allie short for Allison

[@bryonflaherty5957]

Why was the alligator snapper confiscated ?

[@kidtruck9157]

Owner likely didn't have a dnr and was either selling or keeping other exotic pets.

[@peggydetmers6911]

For the alligator snapper, it looks to me like her carapace is a rough landscape that was hit by a meteor. So "Meteor"

[@peggydetmers6911]

and so hopefully, when she gets more meat on her bones, she becomes "Meatier!" 😁

[@sarnett7303]

Alligator snapping turtle name idea - Dippin'Dot (Dotty for short)

[@meadow9166]

Thank you for today's video and for taking care of God's creation. So many amazing animals.. I love all of them. ❤️🐢🦎🐍

[@dawnmaclellan7831]

She’s “smooshie “

[@stevensabella7287]

How about "Divit" for the alligator snapper

[@paizleykoski585]

Puddles for that alligator snappers name because she gets a puddle of water on her back.

[@chrisbaker7302]

That female snapper seems like a Maude to me. Great video.

[@newfsrule9163]

I think the name Phoenix is apropos for the snapper😃

[@Whathowwhenforwhomwhatpurpose]

Twin Peaks or Peppa, if naming after her special features. Or Stark (word for Strong, in Swedish), bc she lives despite all odds and pains.

[@patdoherty8866]

I been there I am from outside of Boston like this over New England aq
