Country:
I've always been facinated by alligator snapping turtles, I've had my slider for 13 years(first pet i owned). But the problems i have with the aligators are: they're massive size requires a very custom aquarium and i don't know anywhere to buy them. There is a pet store near me that has but they won't sell it since they claim it gets too big to own... However they have a couple of snakes around the 10ft mark. So i wish i had one but i don't... for now
