CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Which species of snapping turtle should I keep? What species are there? What is a mutant snapping turtle?

What kind of small alligator turtle should I keep? What are the varieties? What is a mutant small alligator turtle?

1. Raise what you like, don’t compare yourself with others

2 species I remember there are two, the Buddha alligator and the North American alligator. If you want to raise it, of course the Buddha alligator, the fleshy thorns on the neck are very powerful, and the color is more beautiful. The mutations include albino (white body with red eyes), lutino (white body with black eyes, and yellow body, generally white), and some very small mutations, such as white carapace and original flesh, or white carapace and original flesh. These can only be regarded as slight mutations, not as obvious as lutino. Of course, the price of albino and lutino is also low, as for how much it depends on the market situation. By the way, there is also a kind of original color but red plastron, which originally has a relatively cheap price. I don't know if it is considered a mutation. I think it is just one species. I heard the merchant add it to the red-bellied alligator.

3How did the mutant alligator turtle come from? Gene mutation

4 Can a non-mutant alligator turtle give birth to a mutant one? If it is not a mutant alligator turtle, it can also give birth to a mutant one if it carries a mutant gene. But I advise you, if the merchant says that this is a mutant alligator turtle when you buy it and then sells it for a lot of money, just turn around and walk away without saying a word. Since it is a mutant gene that cannot be seen, who can guarantee that you can give birth to a mutant if you use it for breeding? Some merchants are very shady, so be careful not to be fooled!!!

The above is my humble opinion, I hope it helps you. PS: No matter what kind of animal it is, once you buy it, you must treat it well and be responsible for it!!!

There are 4 subspecies of alligator snapping turtles, but the most common ones are the Buddha alligator and the North American, Central American and South American alligator. It is difficult to get the mutation due to the lack of melanin caused by gene mutation in the body. The whole body is yellow or white without eyeliner. Albino individuals have red eyes and normal ones. Pure white red eyes are more valuable, but mutant turtles are congenitally deficient and are generally not as healthy as normal turtles. It is more difficult for mutant turtles to maintain their body color. You may find that the color has become darker the next day. Under normal circumstances, there is a high probability that two mutants can breed the same mutant turtle because they are both gene-deficient.

Is this a mixed crocodile or a North American one? It has a cross eye, grey legs, black eyeliner, and a yellow carapace. I bought a North American one, so maybe the seller sent it by mistake?

Congratulations!

It's more like South America, the North American alligator turtle's shell is lighter in color.
