HAND FEEDING SNAPPING TURTLE 😱🐢‼️ 🐢 🐢 This is a COMMON snapping turtle, not an alligator snapping turtle. Commons are native across much of North America and inhabit ponds and drainage waterways, any freshwater bodies essentially. They can, if trained enough and know where food is coming from, be relatively tame! It seems this fella has become super accustomed to being fed and even comes all the way out of the water! | DanTheTurtleMan

Complete Alligator Snapping Turtle Care Guide - All Turtles

Capone the alligator snapping turtle got the chance to dine on a particularly unique meal (for him!): a whole chicken! His animal care team gave him the experience of "stumbling" across a carcass to encourage those instinctive behaviors of tearing and chomping at his food. In addition to being stimulating for Capone mentally and physically, feeding him whole prey items gives him a range of nutrients and fiber naturally. | Brevard Zoo
