I want to add a snapper with my sliders? Is it ok?

Snappers just loooove other turtles. (If you don't want to keep your sliders, go ahead.) Also, consider adult sizes here... you'll need at least 10 gallons of water for every inch of carapace length... more than one slider will need 200 gallons or more of water to be happy... add a snapper in there.... jeeze.

"Wait," he cries...as she leaves, muttering to herself "These young guys just arent worth the trouble." Leaving, she thinks of the laundry and of picking the kids up at daycare....

you should release it in the same area that you found it. picture of adult snapping turtle below. they do not make good pets and can seriously hurt you. do you really want to care for something that is going to get this big?
