u might want to be careful because about a month ago i bought an alligator snapping turtle and when i put him in my tank he floated on top of the water i was shocked cuz i thought they wernt supposed to do that i thought they always stay submerged for long periods of time and come up for air every like 40-50 minutes.anyway i went on this forum to find out what was goin on and the next day i woke up and he was dead.so i went back t this forum and there was the info i needed but it was to late.the problem was that it was from the air flight for the turles shipment it bloated him up and like air got in his swim bladder and i guess it got so stressed and hungry because of him not wanting to eat he died.





feel free to ask me if this is what u think is happend to ur snapper.



ps.this is just info ive learned from forums so i could be wrong not that this is a bad forums or any other forums are not acurate u get my drift
