LOL...just remember they don't stay cute or little. They get big and they get mean. :P Maybe not as big as an alligator snapper, but it's still a darned big turtle with a fierce bite. :O :D

That is so adorable I cannot adequately express it with words....<3

First of all....thanks to everyone for the kind words. This little guy was actually captive bred by my uncle from two snappers that proved out to be het for albino. i didn't pay anything for him.....I am just lucky enough to have an awesome uncle who gave me an awesome free turtle. I have seen prices ranging from $3,000-$5,000 for albino hatchlings online.

He doesn't have any albinos for sale....but if anyone is interested in a 66% possible het albino, he does have some available. PM me for details.

As Judy said....they are far from a beginners turtle. They have very demanding housing requirements and can do a lot of damage if not handled with knowledge and the utmost respect. I'm trying my best to socialize this little guy, but I have not seen too many friendly snappers in my life....lol.
