my new alligator snapper

I just received my newest addition to the family. A baby alligator snapper.

Will take more pics of him in the aquarium when I get a chance.

Wow. That looks tiny now.
It is hard to believe they get half a foot longer than the snapping turtles around here.
I hope you'll share pic's or videos when you have it comfortably established. They are interesting to watch as they lure prey.

I love those little guys, so cute. I wish they stayed small. He is so tiny and cute.

So cool! What size do their adult enclousers gotta be?

From what I've read, their enclosures don't have to be huge since they're pretty sedentary but that's all I know

I saw a baby pastel snapping turtle for sale. Too bad I dont have 350$ and the space...

Yeah they don't move a lot since they lure their prey. When it does get big I am going to build a small pond for it to go in. They grow relatively slow, so it will be a while before that happens lol.

Nice Ally!!! Definitely post pics of the tank when you get a chance....I'd love to see his setup.
