I'm not slacking. He's sleeping.

Winter will soon be upon us here in Iowa and Tank has cycled into his Winter routine. 48 hours sleeping at a time and much less activity. He woke up this morning from a nights sleep in his water and headed to Hailee's room. Here he is resting under her bed.

I just love Tanks little face! He always seems to have a little smile on his beak


So is that sort of like brumation for a turtle? Does he still eat in his winter phase?

Yes he does. It's just a slow time for him.

I'm surprised Tank doesn't have his own web-site, he sure deserves one since most people think snappers are bad turtles.

There are no bad snapping turtles.
Just misunderstood ones.

Hey just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who has constrictors and a family member who smokes in the home..

Some kid posted in a FB group that he lost half of his bp/royal collection because his parents were heavy smokers and smoked inside the house. Kid said he got a necropsy done on the last snake that died and the cause of death was nicotine overdose. Since constrictors have a slow metabolism the nicotine built up in their systems.

Poor kid and snakes.
