    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Haha no, but that's pretty funny. It is for a strong female though, so it may correlate perfectly with you. Snapping turtles are more affectionate than you may think!

    Adorable turtle! First person I've heard of with one for a pet...you keep changing the gender when you talk to him-her though, lol...
    Thanks so much for sharing. How did we get from the tiny one you're holding at the start to this one (40 lbs)?

    I take it that Tank isn't your turtle (?) but maybe what influenced you to try keeping a snapping turtle for a pet too? Tank has me "sold" too.
    Many more animals (than we expect to) seem to understand good treatment as our pets.

    Yea, that is just a video I found while doing research. And that's not a unique case of affection from my research . Mine has swam up to me when I entered the room and I've only had her for two days. While I couldn't call it affection yet, it is curiosity beyond a feeding response.
