Can I put a snapping turtle in a pond year round?

While snapping turtles can live in ponds, it's important to consider the specific conditions of the pond, including water temperature, depth, and food availability. If the pond is suitable and has a healthy ecosystem, they can thrive year-round. However, releasing a snapping turtle into a new environment should be done cautiously, as it can disrupt local wildlife and ecosystems. It's best to consult with a wildlife expert or local regulations before making such a decision.
