Hey everyone with huge snappers, can some of you please let me know the sizes and ages of yours?? I have a few of these guys and just curious on growth rates in captivity.
Thanks.
Matt

Matt,from what I've read they reach about a foot in shell lenghth within 5yrs. Then they slow down to about a pound a year.Maybe one of the other guys can help out on this because I've only had my big turtle 5months. Steve
