Snapping turtles can be domesticated, but the size of snapping turtles is larger, the adult body length of large snapping turtles can reach 70-90 centimeters, and the container for raising snapping turtles is at least 2-3 times larger than their size, so it takes up more space to raise snapping turtles at home. And if there are children at home, the top of the container needs to be closed to avoid accidental injury to children by snapping turtles. When raising snapping turtles at home, it is better to wear gloves when feeding them to avoid their owner's hands as food.

? Snapping turtles can be domesticated, but some problems should be paid attention to when breeding. First of all, the size of the snapping turtle is relatively large, and it needs to prepare a larger container to raise the snapping turtle at home. Snapping turtles can reach about 70 centimeters in length when they grow up, so breeders need to prepare at least one container of about 2 meters. In addition, the snapping turtle's attack is strong, if there are children at home, it is recommended to add a lid in the container to avoid injuries to children.

2. What

should we pay attention to when raising snapping turtles? 1. Space: Snapping turtles are large, and if they don't have enough living space, they won't be too big when they grow up. And if the space is small, they will reduce the amount of activity, prone to fat accumulation, obesity and so on.

2. Bask in the sun: Although snapping turtles are terrapins, it is better to give them regular exposure to the sun at home, which can not only improve their own immunity, but also kill most of the bacteria to avoid infection or disease.

3. Water temperature: The crocodile turtle has strong adaptability, but it likes a higher water temperature. The breeder needs to control the water temperature at about 28 ℃, and pay attention to the temperature difference when changing water. Because the temperature difference is too large, it is easy for them to have cold symptoms, and when the condition is serious, it can also cause pneumonia and other conditions.
