Posted by: turtledude03 at Thu Nov 17 22:33:55 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by turtledude03 ] I would go with a common snapper. They are a very hardy turtle and if you handle them enough(not every few minutes) and respect them, they can be very good pets. I have had mine for over a year and hes in a 125 gallon tank. Right now, he has a 7.5" carapace length. They can grow at different rates, and most stay around 4" the first year. Both a snapper and a softshell can get large, but snappers are more interesting IMO. Mine will swim up to the glass whenever someone walks into the room. If snappers aren't for you, I'd go with a mud/musk species. They are also hardy and don't require as much tank space. Heres a link to my photobucket site with different pics of my snapper and other turtles: http://photobucket.com/albums/y224/turlteman85. | ||
