Feeding too many snapping turtles will lead to poor water quality, because the food that snapping turtles can't eat will be in the water all the time, which will accelerate the deterioration of water quality and make the water dirty and poor. Moreover, snapping turtles are easy to eat too much, and it is easy to burden their digestive system after eating too much. When the crocodile turtle eats too much, its activity will be reduced and its digestive ability will be weakened. In some serious cases, they will float on the water all the time.
