Hypomelanistic snapping turtle

Denver CO

Description

Do you or anyone you know have interest in a Leucistic snapping turtle (6" shell) 2 years old, raised on pellets from the day it was hatched (I saw it wandering towards the lake from the nest, but they were being picked off by egrets left and right so I adopted it.) I'm hesitant to just release this rare-ish variant when there has got to be some collecting interest in it. Obviously being that it's native, it can't be bought/sold, but perhaps for trade? Goes by the name Syd Barrett. Is demonstrably tame, but it's still a snapping turtle, so experienced inquiries only. I've avoided feeding him live food (only occasional chopped shrimp) as a means to facilitate said tameness. Pics are from the day I collected him to present. Looking to trade for items of value to me. Pet supplies for small dogs, turtles or fish are good examples; otherwise items which I can easily sell towards the same end.
