Introducing my new Alligator Snapper

Greetings all,

I picked up this beautiful Alligator snapper about two weeks ago...
Its time to introduce you all to her.

If I could only have ONE herp, these dinosaurs would be it

I am SO happy with her, even though every time I go near her, she wants to eat me

She's smiling for the camera










What you guys think?

OMG that thing is so cute. It's head is sooo big in relation to it's body.

If Mikey our RES ever passes away (which would be terribly sad, but frankly I think he will outlive me! lol) then I'll am considering one of those as my next turtle pet! One turtle at a time is enough for me right now though!

Nice pics.

Marisa
