Welcome to The Snapper Report! This week’s report is brought to you by Elizabeth Fliehs.
Snapper’s weigh in for March 2, 2023 was 179.00 grams. For the past week Snapper has lost 0.3 grams due to the loss of not having a heat lamp for a few days!
Snapper lives in a small aquarium tank, filled with rocks for him to climb on and little pebbles for him to play with.
Did you know that a snapping turtle’s favorite foods are live insects and worms? Most snapping turtles are most afraid of humans on land and only snap in defense when they feel threatened!
In our Chemistry class this week we have been learning on how to balance and name chemical reactions, and how to classify different types of reactions.

Welcome to The Snapper Report! This week’s report is brought to you by Hannah Monson. Snapper’s weigh in for 2/14/22 was 156.20 grams. For the past week Snapper has grown 22.64 grams! Snapper’s environment will be changing, because it is no longer safe for him to have small colorful rocks. Instead, he will only have rocks larger than has head. He is also really enjoying ham cubes. An interesting fact about Snapper and other snapping turtles is that they hiss. Typically, it is because they retract into their shells. Additionally, snapping turtles are one of the smartest reptiles around. In Organic Chemistry, we just finished up our chapter on aldehydes and ketones. More specifically, we learned about naming them, their structures, and reactions.
