I gave Snape ~ my Snapping Turtle, for anyone who's been asleep this last few years ~ a bit of a feed, last night. Human grade beef steak. Put the rest in my curry, tonight.
Eddie was asking to see him so I got the camera out. Ye'll have to forgive the less than Baileyesque results;
I'm trying to take film under artificial light. With the camera in one hand. Feed Snape with the other. And concentrate on the focus, while trying to concentrate on not getting snapped by mistake!
Used my phone, to try and lend some scale to things. Did the best I could, under the circumstances.
Anyway, here's a brief clip. Hopefully it'll give ye an insight into what an absolutely mental little fucker Snape is.
I fuckin' love him! He's got So much character. He's like a little, half wild, water Dog 😄
Very cool. I now see why you use the snips to feed him 😂. Man i'd say even at that size, he'd do some damage
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, Eddie; These things aren't like ferrets. You'd Never fuck around, taking risks for bravado.
ReplyDeleteSee how he missed the actual meat? I filmed a couple of earlier tries. Bugger snaps, on average, once or twice before getting the meat.
If his 'focus' is that bad? Fuck putting my fingers in reach of a totally innocent 'miss'!
How big can these things grow?
ReplyDeleteThe texts say they average out anything up to around the nineteen inch shell length.
ReplyDeleteThat basically means this cunt can go twice the size he is. And the fucking Weight on him, already! :o He's a serious situation!
