Snapping turtles mainly live in swamps or rivers and are carnivores, so they are naturally fierce. Although the snapping turtles raised by families are not as fierce as those in the wild, their attacking power can not be underestimated. The upper and lower jaws of snapping turtles are hooked, very sharp, and the bite force is amazing, some can even bite off human fingers. So be careful when raising them and don't get bitten by them.
Why are snapping turtles so fierce and how to raise them properly?

1. why are snapping turtles so fierce

? Snapping turtles are born fierce, because they mainly live in swamp areas, mainly eat fish, shrimp, waterfowl, snails and other animals that can be caught, and even eat other species of turtles when hungry, so they are born fierce. Although captive snapping turtles are not so ferocious, their natural habits will not change, so they should pay attention to protection and not be bitten in the usual feeding process.

2. How to raise

snapping turtles? 1. Space: The size of snapping turtles is larger. The adult length of true snapping turtles can reach 70-90 centimeters, so breeders need to prepare a larger container for them, at least 2-3 times larger than their size.

2. Water temperature: The snapping turtle prefers a higher water temperature, and the breeder can control the water temperature between 28-31 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 15 ℃ in spring and autumn, the heating rod can be used for constant temperature.

3. Feeding: As mentioned above, snapping turtles are ferocious and like meat. Breeders can feed them some live fish, live shrimp, loach, lean meat, animal viscera, etc., as well as some carrots, lettuce, rape and other vegetables, as well as apples, bananas, Hami melons and other fruits. Only in this way can we avoid single nutrition and ensure balanced nutrition.
