Thanks for watching! Feel free to use this as a template, and add or subtract elements as you like. Have fun and happy habitat building! ✌🏼

I found a snapping turtle in the middle of the night in Minnesota that measured 3 feet from head to tail. Absolute unit.

We found turtle eggs in our compost 2 months ago. We left it alone and put a cage around the nest. Today, we found 4 baby snapping turtles so far. Pretty cool looking turtles.

Brilliant Thank you so much for the video. I found a baby snapper yesterday that didn’t look like he would make it. I purchased a small tank and this morning he seems to be doing better, and now I can follow your advice and give him a safe place until I can release him.

Can't wait.My juvenile Snapper is growing like a weed and needs an upgrade.

I've actually found a baby snapping turtle a few houses a way, in the middle of the path a few years back. Cute as heck, but I let him go back after pointing him a way from the street. Hope he's still growing and getting big.

What a beautiful setup, the baby snappers looked so cute exploring their new home!

I miss my pond/aquarium building days. This was fun to watch! Good stuff.

I remember rinsing gravel for my turtle pond. I made a 300-gallon pond by myself and dug gravel from our road then rinsed it in 5-gallon buckets. it took a while!

Awesome video Greg love seeing great setup videos like this!

This is the exact video I needed. I’m trying to sort out a way to sort a stock tank for a baby snapping turtle i’m getting in a month, and this will help a lot.

YESS ANOTHER VID I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!

Keep doing yo thing man really appreciate your vids

Your the 🐐 at this turtle stuff fr

Thanks for the info Greg 😁👍🌿🐢🌿

I love the great habitats you create for your turtles and tortoises. I'm sure they are quite happy and enjoy them. It looks like these projects are so rewarding to do, and we get to learn from them, and enjoy the process, too.

Awesome enclosures you make, I wish that some day I have that much space so I can build some stuff like you do. Really enjoying your vids since I found your channel. Greetings from Mexíco

Thank you, this video is very helpful.

The timing on this video was perfect because this month I am getting a common snapping turtle

Love the video btw

very cool...

love your videos..

Very cool setup. Should be fine for babies i feel. Later on you have to look for bigger place,👌👌

I was on zoom watching Gregs Turtle Haven

made that mistake once with a 75 gallon fish tank... Didn't clean the gravel enough was a mess twice the amount of work doing all the water changes till i got it clean. Just forgot to do it that one time.. wont forget ever again ! haha

Must be a awesome video if it's got 10 likes before it premieres. The anticipation is killing me I might not be able to sleep. (Jk tho all his videos are awesome)

50 seconds and waiting for this to start !!!

Great video! Do you have to heat the water for Snapper hatchlings? I apologize if you covered that in this video and I missed it. . . I was watching with my kiddos.

What about filtration? Wouldn’t the bio load from two turtles foul up that water quick? If no filtration, then how often do you do water changes?

I have 2 baby common Florida snappers , they are both about a month or 2 old . Can I keep them together in a 20 gallon long aquarium with 2 hiding spaces and some plants . If so , how long will they be able to be together till I have to separate them?

What filter would you recommend for a 300 gallon stock tank? Or should I just get 2 200 gallon filters?

Hi at what age do you separate the snappers or do you have a gallon amount per adult that’s ok to house them together?

I love your videos, you have given me great insight on how to care for snapping turtles. I have a question for you about my baby alligator snapping turtle. Some background first. My brother in law brought this turtle home right before winter last year. His intention was to grow the turtle and then cook and eat it. I told him he was nuts then took the turtle from him. I kept the turtle because of it being close to winter. I have cared for the turtle since then. I kid you not , I watch tv and my turtle lays on me and takes naps. So he/she is tame and not showing aggression. It is now starting to warm up here in Missouri, and I wish to put this turtle back in the wild. Where is the best place to release an alligator snapping turtle? Pond, lake, river? I want him to have the best chance for survival. He was the size of a half dollar, now his shell measures about 5 inches across. Is he large enough for release or should I keep him/her another year and then release to insure his survival in the wild? I would greatly appreciate your advice, or a link that can help guide me.

im going to buy some florida snapping turtles soon will this work for them?

Could you do this same set up in an exo terra? 20 gallon. I’ve got a baby snapper, with some hides and a dock. I don’t think he likes it lol

Where can I get that driftwood??

Can you tell me which one is better either the gator turtle or common turtle?

I have a baby snapper and cantfind a big habitat how big should it be?

Hey Greg - will you be able to keep them together for life or do you plan on separating them eventually? So much information online is different than what I see you and some of the other big turtle keepers do, and what you guys are doing is obviously working very well and you always seem to put the animals first.

Hey Greg how do you deal with leeches?

Do you have to have a filter or no ?

Can we get an update video on these

Does the cold water hurt them?

So technically as long there's plants you'll never need a filter? And also would this work for RES?

Idk what to do I got a baby common snapping turtles I tried feeding it dried river shrimp turtle pellets live mealworms and mini krill and he didn’t eat any of it

Play sand is fine?

Hey man where's that background music from

You don’t worry about them ingesting the gravel?

Have had this baby cooter for a few days now, still not eating so if you have any tips they would be appreciated?

Nice! I'm thinking of getting at least 1 type of snapping turtle when i get my tank and supplies to keep tank animals. I don't really know if I should get a hatchling common snapper though as they're ACTIVELY AGGRESSIVE... they hunt their food! So if a frog or salamander would swim passed them, they may get killed. Maybe even the other turtles in the setup, smh.. I was thinking about hopping up 3 steps and getting a hatchling alligator snapper, but they're boring. Usually just sit around you know? Not as fast as the common I guess.. what do you suppose I do??

Hey

if i don't have sand, can i just use gravel

I have been horrified of the sound common snappers make because when I was younger I was wading in this pond in Missouri and I heard that noise and then a basking snapper took a chunk out of my ankle

Greg do you worry about the gravel getting ingested by the baby snappers? I have always kept mine in bare bottom enclosures, but have wanted to have a substrate for plants like Amazon Sword or Java Moss. Also I was so excited to watched this because I thought you had baby alligator snappers. Lol

Poor turtles lol you were chucking them around

I'd like to know how you change the water and how often you change it, fans from China

When i added sand to my turtles tank it turned her a pink colour

no heater or filter/flow needed!

Whatever happened with these little dudes? I don't see anymore videos on this😢

I dont know if this us true or not but i read somewhere (im new to turtles) that the water shouldnt be any deeper than their shell edges, but i see you built yours with alot of water can anybody help me? I have 33 baby snapping turtles thanks to my girlfriend wanting to keep them all

First

You'll have to change the water every other day. They stink up the water way too fast.

Are You love Thailand? I'm see the hat

Turtles do not keep plants in the pot as it is. They will destroy and eat them. ;)

Why does the comments say from 1 day ago and this just came out wtf KZfaq 😂

I don’t think I’d be one to be able to keep their species but they are quite fascinating Ps- To anyone reading I just want to let you know to anyone who needs to hear this Jesus Loves You ❤️And he is waiting for you to give yourself to him anyways I hope everyone is blessed

All fun and games till a bird snatch the turtle😭😭

The two dislike are from the turtle the tub and he/she didnt like it Im not trying to be funny this is serious

I did not want to comment because it was at 69
