World's Strangest Snapping Turtle... and He's Utterly Adorable!

Meet one of the strangest snapping turtles we’ve ever seen… and quite possibly one of the most adorable! With an unusually shaped shell, a curled little pig tail, and a walk you have to see to believe, this little common snapping turtle is truly one of a kind! Born with significant physical deformities, including kyphosis, he faces some unique challenges. But despite his differences, he’s growing, eating enthusiastically, and stealing our hearts! In today’s video, we’ll introduce you to this remarkable little turtle, explain his unusual condition, and discuss his quality of life and why we’ve already fallen in love with him. ❤️🐢 #GardenStateTortoise #SnappingTurtle #Turtles #Reptiles 🐢 Our exclusive Vietnamese Black Breasted Leaf Turtle plush is available now!
