To all of whom I have offended I apologize.
I read everyone's reply and noticed the thread was locked. I didn't mean to come off as an

... and am not *that* type of person . I did look at the persons profile after I read all of the replies and noticed the age of this person * age shouldn't be a factor but it does make a difference when taking care of certain animals*. And I agree with the posts about the violent behavior of the snapping turtle and have been nipped by mine.where he held on for a while... so far it doesn't hurt but I know when he gets bigger he'll be stronger. And I agree that if the person has the proper equipment and area to keep such a creature and the knowledge then its easier to take care of them. Which goes for every lil creature..
I hope u all accept my apology and I'll keep my stubborn opinions regulated and try to keep a more open and positive reply when posting..
Sincerely
