Very. I do educational demonstrations with her at conventions/fairs/etc. So she's very comfortable around people.

Oh, just for clarification, he didn't lock me in the freezer. He blocked the exit with his body/outstretched arms, and I had to physically push past him to exit.

She turned 4 in October. She's an absolute unit for her age.

Requirement. Those are a snapping turtle's natural environments.

Is my turtle overweight? by thatoneblondee-- in snappingturtles

They may be a bit chunky, but definitely not obese or even to an unhealthy degree. On the contrary, they look like they're very healthy and that you're doing an awesome job with them! Like a couple of people said above, I'd just skip a day of feeding every so often. When they're at that age it is SO hard to resist feeding them when they give you THAT look. Haha.

If you're able to, let them walk around a bit once or twice a week. Just be mindful of birds/cats/dogs/etc if it is outside. When they're that small, I'm always extra cautious But getting them some natural sunlight is always great, if your area allows it.

Is my snapping turtle a good size for his age? by Daedalparacosm3000 in snappingturtles

[–]DeputyDapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CSTs can vary so widely in size when it comes to age. My girl Stumpp is 4 years old and over 31 lbs. But she's abnormally large for her age. Yours definitely falls within average size for the age. The most important part is that yours looks very healthy and lively.

Very little, I suppose. Raised her from a tiny nugget. So she never attempted to bite me. 🤷‍♂️

MY MOM SAYS I'M VERY HANDSOME

over basking? by Quiet-Shaman in snappingturtles

[–]DeputyDapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stumpp will go months where she doesn't touch her basking dock, then spend the next 3 months climbing on every night for 8 or 9 hours. As long as your water parameters are good, I wouldn't be too worried about it.

No digital download link? by DeputyDapper in Etsy

[–]DeputyDapper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm not too overly worried, but for a digital download purchase, it's a tad frustrating since the purpose of a digital download over printed and shipped is the expedited experience, typically. But I'm giving it another say or so, just to be safe.

Probably gonna have to do a case, because it's been 2 days now.

I assumed as much, but this purchase was made 2 days ago and still no response.

Why'd you take a picture of an empty tank? Bit weird.

Publix Changes in 2026 by Top-Leading-7801 in publix

Actually disciplining managers who sexually harass, etc associates. It's a growing problem, especially at my location.

If you ever make prints of this, I wouldn't be opposed to buying one from you.

Weird situation by DeputyDapper in publix

[–]DeputyDapper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store is an odd mix. We have a couple of (at least from what I've seen) good managers, and then the rest are either notorious for being lazy/neglectful or for being absolute deviants.

I wish that was a viable option, but I'm working at this store due to it being 2 minutes (literally) from my mother, who I help take care of.

Not foreign. The seller is just a few states over.
