whats the species name? there are 3 types of snapper: alligator snapper(Macroclemys temminckii), common snapper(Chelydra serpentina serpentina), and florida snapper(Chelydra serpentina osceola). im guessing yours isnt a true type of snapping turtle, maybe something that looks like them but really isnt one, or even related.

actually i just found that there are 4 subspecies of common, one of which is in northern south america. care should be the same as for the other types though.

New Guinea snappers are a very different family than found here in the Americas. Can you post pics
