Snapping Turtles
Snapping turtles, which belong to the biological family Chelydridae, are a family of turtles consisting of four living species and several extinct species. Snapping turtles are known for their predatory behavior (they'll eat everything from fish to baby waterfowl such as ducklings) and their belligerent disposition when not in the water. In the United States, common snapping turtles are hunted and used as the main ingredient in turtle soup.

Are snapping turtles deadly?
Asked by Wiki User
No, turtles are very peaceful. They could never eat each other! :)
However, if a turtle eats meat regularly it may think that a baby turtle is a large piece of meat for it to eat. Do not put a baby turtle in with an adult.
No! how could they? They have a shell! But they may try if they are threatened.
Not true, turtles are very cannibalistic. A couple of good examples of this is the eatern spiny soft shell turtle, painted turtles, and slider turtles. You don't have to worry about cannibalism within your turtles if they are around the same size. You don't want to have a bunch of turtles in the same tank that are more than an inch or so in size difference unless they are adults with lots of room. Babies turtles are born with soft shell that harden as they get older, when the shells are still soft then they don't have any protection. Keep them with turtles their size. Don't take a risk with turtles. Adults over the size of about 5-6 inches can probably be housed with much larger turtles as long as you introduce them over time and keep an eye of them for the first couple of days and separating them when you can't watch them and durning night, until they are settled in.
no because turtles do not fight
YES! Snapping and alligator snapping turtles are known to eat smaller turtles.
Why do people answer when they don't really know from experience? Although "fellow" turtles are not part of their regular diet, turtles can fight and be aggressive with each other, snapping and biting at heads and limbs. There have been accounts of limbs and eyes being lost. Obviously, they can't eat through the shell. But they are omnivores and meat is meat.
i would say no. My turtle is a red eared slider and its big. I also have a baby yellow bellied slider and they are fine together! At first they may nip at each other but if they do, either push your turtle or give it a tiny nudge... the next day they should be friends!!

How do you find baby snapping turtles?
Asked by Wiki User
I've always found baby painted turtles in really muddy, scummy ponds with thick vegetaion. You get a net with dime size holes. Walk very quietly around the edge of the pond and you may see one with it's head sticking out. Usually you'll see it just as it goes under to hide and you have to use your net. I always had luck just scooping up net fulls of pond gook from the water right at the edge, no more than 3 feet in. Empty out the stuff and carefully look through the mudd . With any luck you'll find some baby turtles, fish , frogs, tadpoles and a smelly net
