Question: Two snappers in the same tank and one of them is very aggressive. What to do ?

Answer: There are two ways of taking care of this problem - one would be keeping them seperate, and the other is to put the in an enclosure big enough so they will never find each other. This could be a pond or a very large tank. For people who want to breed them keeping ales and females together is unavoidable for obvious reasons. The best way to start such project is to give them a large tank in which the female can escape the aggressive male. They should be onitored and the male should be removed if he starts to inflict more serious damage on the female. To read more about snapping turtle feeding please click here Thanks for asking! Stan
