Here's Tank in the morning doing his stretches. He such an animated turtle. Goes through the day without a care in the world. Nothing seems to bother him or concern him. He gets along with everyone and wants to know what everything is.

I've been considering getting some frogs. I have a shelf over my desk that could another live-plant setup.

I'd have to resist the urge to feed them off to my snakes though...

tank makes me want a tank but then I read these and remember there's not another tank....

He is a very special turtle. At 36 pounds and still growing he's enough.

Thanks. We are blessed to have him in our family. It's a pleasure taking care of him, he's my buddy.

Found this photo in a box. Tank and I have been close for a long time. I remember the days when I could keep him in my arms. Now, he breaks out with little effort on his part. At 36 pounds he's a powerful/strong turtle.

I've been asked by many people if I will get another snapping turtle. My answer has always been the same in that I think Tank is enough. Today, things changed. I was visiting a local Tractor Supply store checking out their 300 gallon stock tanks. It's time Tank gets a big area to swim in. I mentioned to an employee that I had a snapping turtle. His reply was "so do we" Then he showed me this hatchling, still with its egg-tooth intact.
I'm guessing this turtle was born in the last few day. When I asked what they were going to do with it they offered it to me. So it looks like I'll be raising up another turtle. This little one seems unafraid and is very adventurous. Time will tell if I have the makings of another special turtle.

Thanks LeAnn. The new little one ate a couple earth worms last night and pooped. She/he seems to have a outgoing personality and isn't afraid of much. These are all good things.
