Snapping turtles cannot be released because they are not native turtles, but exotic species, and there are no natural enemies in the native land. If released, they will always reproduce. Snapping tortoises have a ferocious character, strong predation ability and adaptability, and will compete with native tortoises for resources. Over time, native tortoises will be difficult to survive. Moreover, more snapping turtles will cause great damage to the local ecological environment.

1. Can snapping turtles be released

? Snapping turtles cannot be released. They are introduced from other countries and have no natural enemies in our country. If they are released, they may cause damage to the local ecological environment. Snapping turtles, in particular, are the most ferocious turtles found so far. They grow faster, reproduce more, have a wider range of feeding habits, and have a stronger ability to hunt. If they are released into the wild, it is easy to cause flooding, and they will compete for the resources of native turtles. If it is serious, it will lead to the extinction of native turtles. Moreover, our country also has relevant regulations that the released species need to have inspection and quarantine certificates to ensure their health and no other hazards before they can be released.

2. What to do

if you don't want to raise snapping turtles? Many breeders don't want to raise snapping turtles. Their first thought is to release them, but because snapping turtles pose a threat to ecology and other organisms, they can't be released. If the breeder does not want to keep it, he can give it away, or he can go to the place where the turtle is sold and ask if it is recycled. If it doesn't work, it can be sent to a special animal rescue station. When raising snapping turtles at home, we should also be careful not to let them escape. Because of their ferocious character, snapping turtles will attack humans if threatened, and their destructive power to the environment is amazing. Every turtle enthusiast is responsible for their own snapping turtles.
