What type of sand do I use for snapping turtles?

For snapping turtles, it's best to use coarse, clean sand that allows for good drainage and mimics their natural habitat. Avoid fine sand, as it can compact and create respiratory issues. A mix of sand and soil can also provide a suitable nesting substrate if breeding is intended. Always ensure that the sand is free from chemicals and contaminants to maintain a healthy environment for the turtles.
