Common Snapper

This is Audry III named after the little shop of horrors plant. She is a little garbage disposal.

How big is she? Also your setup looks cool, can you take a wider shot of it?

She probably fits in the palm of my hand now. I will try to get some new shots of her whole body tonight or tomorrow.

This was her when we first got her.

No they are fake for this setup. This was her first tank with some changes once she stopped coming out on the island. Her next setup may have some live plants mixed in. We are looking at getting a curved front aquarium with a few canister filters.

Here is a shot from today to see the growth in a few months. She is no longer amused by me picking her up lol.

Wow, as you know those get HUGE. I'd watch my fingers around both species of snappers, lol.

LOL I know. I can build ponds and waterfalls, so if the time ever came for it to move outdoors there wouldn't be a problem.

I already know how I am going to build the outdoor enclosure for the sulcata once it gets to big to hang out in the house all the time.

What a face she has!

That'll be cool! I love to pretend to design enclosure and habitats for herps. Yea yea yea nerdy I know. I'd love to build enclosures for my current herps, but I don't know a thing about building stuff and measurments, math, etc, is out of my league.

You'll have to show off your design plans and keep us updated as your break ground.

EDIT: Also the name of your company is cool. Very cute.

What a beautiful little snapper!! I love tortoises and turtles, and snappers (both common and aligator) are probably my top favorite of the turtley sorts!

I have a few shots of the first one I built. It was while taking a pond building class. If you want I can dig them up and post a few of them.

There are pond building classes? At what, like a college or like home depot. Sure that'd be great about posting pics.

No nothing like that. I am a contractor so I took a pond building class to be able to add that to the services I offer my customers.

I will see if I can find the pics and post them.
