Amanda says she will trade for a non-snapping slider...October 15th is her birthday, but I will order a slider on 1st of september, and then as long as it takes to get a turtle from the online reptile store, I can swap her for the new one. She said she won't release the snapper baby until she has the slider in hand...LOL she is taking no chances....she has been begging her mother for a turtle as a Birthday present for the last 3 months.
Good deal. It's a heck of a risk having a snapper around once it gets some size on it. My brother was given a Monitor lizard that was over 6 feet long. He ended up giving it to a friend who kept it in an above ground pool in a room in his house. They both thought the thing was completely tame but one day Kilo was in changing it's water and it attacked him. He had a prosthetic leg and luckily that was the last leg over the wall of the pool. The lizard grabbed it and pulled it off. Just getting a slight bite from one of those things can give you a very serious infection.
