What are the general opinions on snapping tuetles? I have two medium size snapping tuetles. I have read they really are not a problem, will not eat healthy fish. Will eat sick/dead fish and fish eggs? Thxs
I trapped snapping turtles for years; snappers will eat absolutely everything they can catch or find. I used to put them in a big horse trough to clean them out for a week before butchering, they would puke up fresh baby ducks/fresh fish/muskrat feet/duck feet/ other smaller turtles. I myself don't like or want them in a pond at all and remove them with prejudice.
And in a pond that people swim in I would never want any.
