Alligator Snapping Turtle Macrochelys Temminckii Juvenile 8cm

“Meet the incredible Alligator Snapping Turtle, a prehistoric wonder that captivates with its unique appearance and fascinating behavior. Originating from the freshwater rivers of North America, these ancient creatures boast a distinct shell and a powerful bite. They thrive on a diet of fish, crustaceans, and occasional vegetation, making them an intriguing addition to any large, well-maintained tank.

Due to their solitary nature and size (often reaching impressive dimensions), it’s recommended to house them alone or with extremely large, robust tank mates. Alligator Snapping Turtles may display territorial behavior and are best suited to experienced aquarists familiar with their needs.

Maintaining specific water parameters, including clean, well-filtered water and ample space, is crucial for their health. Additionally, providing appropriate hiding spots and basking areas mimicking their natural habitat encourages their well-being.

With their unique characteristics and care requirements, these turtles are an awe-inspiring addition for experienced enthusiasts looking to provide a suitable environment for these captivating creatures.”
