here's a pic of my cage. mine is 2 1/2 yrs old and a good 8in carapace. that website is the best one thats available. i feed my turtle reptomin, beefheart, shiners, goldfish, crayfish, chicken, turkey, tadpoles, an sometimes a mouse. they get big so have a big tank (they need a lot of room to roam) and be careful cuz they can bite!

Well, at only 13, they can live to be 40 years old.. so you two can grow old together... I love my two snappers.. And I have had them for almost a year now..

Mine eat beefheart, snails, rosie reds, goldfish, chicken hearts and liver, mealworms, crickets, silversides, frogs, lizards, bugs, and pinkies.

They are about 4 or 5 inches now.. one is a bit smaller because he had a run in with tapeworms... but he is growing fast now.
