Generally speaking, the Buddha snapping turtle is more fierce than the giant snapping turtle. They are all irascible turtles. Although they look very docile, they are more aggressive. At the same time, their courage is also very small, once they feel that there is danger outside, they will shrink into the shell and wait for an opportunity to attack. They all like to eat meat or carrion, and they can also feed vegetables when they are raised. It is generally not recommended that they be mixed together because they will often fight.
