Despite their omnipresence in some areas of the natural world, snapping turtles are somewhat rare in captive collections. This isn't astounding, given the snapping turtles develop to be very enormous and their associations frequently extend from touchy to plainly antagonistic; a momentary lapse in concentration can have disastrous consequences.
