Despite their cute appearance, it’s not recommended to have Snapping Turtles for family pets, well at least for those with children below 5 years old. These turtles can be a little belligerent and aggressive and may, if the opportunity presents itself, bite your kid/s’ fingers. These turtle species need extra tender loving care so they may grow into healthy adult turtles.
Snappers are part of the large-sized turtle species and will in due time, take more space at home. Their care and maintenance would likely become time-consuming and complicated as well. Snappers can live up to more than 40 years, so it’s a long-term engagement to rear a baby turtle up to maturity. If you are patient and passionate enough to care for these snappers for a long time, they should be good companion pets for your family.
