Hello everyone, just wondering if keeping a caiman in a small pond with a snapping turtle would create a conflict between the two species. Between like a common snapping turtle and a spectacled caiman, which one would be more prone to seriously injure or do harm to the other?
Thanks

The sign on the Staurotypus triporcatus at my zoo says... that they have those ridges on their shells to protect them from getting eaten by crocodilians. I don't actually know the answer, or anything about alligators for that matter, I just felt like tossing that in. Snapping turtles are probably more docile than giant musk turtles.
