AWWWWWWWWWWWWW
no, actually as a pup everyone thought so. we got her from the humane society, so we're not positive.. but we think lab + american bull dog. the pictures don't show it well, but you can see her "stockyness" in real life real well. she's a cutie though.the kid 05 said:looks like my dog annie
This is Chomper, a snapper turtle that wandered onto my porch from the canal. He wanted to live in my f/w aquarium!
and this is Willy.
and this is Willy.
My cat about 30 minutes after I found him. The photo on the Dell monitor is exactly how I found him.. meowing right outside my door. Best cat I've ever been around. I'm glad I took him in.

I don't think that's a Snapping Turtle. It looks like the Painted Turtle, which used to be the common pet. However, there is a concern over salmonella being carried by them, so captivity for pets is outlawed. That doesn't mean you can't have one for 'research' though.
It is a snapper; three ridges on its back, claws on its feet, pointed beak, and one heck of an appetite for guppies! His neck reaches halfway across his back when he stretches it out. Also in Florida there are no regulations concerning snappers in captivity, however alligator snappers are protected by law. I will be moving him into the pond out back once he gets big enough to crunch off my fingers!iSaint said:I don't think that's a Snapping Turtle.

Say hi to Barnes and Noble. They are two TN Map Turtles. They say "zup, ya'll". They are making calling noises lately with their little throats which, as I understand, are part of their mating vocalizations. When they were given to us, they were smaller than a half dollar in diameter. Now, they're several half dollars in diameter.

Wow, I posted in this thread almost 2 years ago. Back then we had 2 cats, a mouse, and had just gotten our first pug (Bruno, also my avatar). We still have 4 pets, but the cast of players has changed. Since the thread is still somewhat active, I might as well give an update.
First, the bad news. The mouse (Squirt) and one of the cats (Kinder) have passed on. We'll miss them both dearly.
About 4 months ago, we rescued a yellow lab named Sasha. As all labs do, she loves water and fetching. So our trip to the beach a few weeks ago was great fun for her.

Oliver is our newest addition to the family, and our second black pug. We got him from a rescue just under 2 weeks ago.

Jasmine is still with us, and was recently the inspiration for a little sign I made with the help of CafePress. Her litterbox is in the hall closet, which is accessible to her via a kitty door. I decided it would be fun to make a little sign for it:

I emailed my brother who's a herp biologist. He thinks it's a Mud or Musk Turtle. Neither of us see the pointed nose or high ridges on the back. Mud turtles have a long neck as well.
Do a Google Image search of all three and do some comparisons and let me know what you think.
There's lots of sites that help identify out there.I would love to see him get at some guppies!

Chomper's a little wee baby still... but here's a better view of his nose/jaw structure. He is definitely carniverous! -- by the way, I live in central Florida where snappers are native, l;ike me!
The woman, a veterinarian, says:
"That is not a snapping turtle."
She also says:
"This is a snapping turtle."
She also says:
"This seems questionably legal. If it was taken from the wild."
Which you already said it was.
Vets and reading comprehension, eh?
Now she's babbling about turtle breeders. Nice turtle, anyway.

Well, my lucky friend, you may be one of the only of earth's inhabitants to see a hatchling FLORIDA snapper, not to be confused with the common snapper found in most of the rest of the U.S.
I did my research, although I already know snappers ( we go way back...) and there are no laws concerning FLORIDA snappers in captivity due to them being extremely common in FLORIDA.And I would like to re-state the facts in this case, the baby snapper came to my back door and was waiting to come inside when I stepped out... he heard about my freshwater tanks, I guess. I said, "come on in, we have plenty of room!"
p.s. Chomper was very pissed that I had to grab him out of his home to take more pics of him and it made several attempts to bite me...
