People forget how much plant matter turtles that size also eat. Ask Newt. Do they eat frogs and ducks ? Sure, and fish. But they also eat a tremendous amount of plant matter too.
Turtles that size, at least here, would be full of toxins, especially RIVER turtles. They wouldn't be fit to eat and I've argued that point for a very long time. Turtles that large are very old and are worth FAR MORE alive than dead.
Ask a turtle farmer, which is where a large portion of snappers are sold to. Can I answer that ?

Absolutely YOU can answer that Newt ! Few on here know turtles the way you do ! AND....if this means anything...we all missed you at the NTA this year ! Why, I over heard 'the mouse' tell a trapper she was really sorry you didn't come this year so you would have someone her own size to play with ! LOL

oooh, 'aint nobody loves me' ... I'm the 2nd most hated man in trapping, right behind Locklear... ( Can you believe that's an actual quote? ) Now I think you are far from hated I know Mousie thinks a lot of you Met James at the convention...he feels we all want to tar and feather him.

Most turtles go AIR FREIGHT to China alive Hope they become an invasive species there in return for their carp.
