Sorry Ava's report is posted late... technical difficulties on Mrs. Gonsoir's part. Welcome to The Snapper Report! This week’s report is brought to you by Ava Wienk. Snapper’s weigh in for December 20, 2022, was 54.56 grams. Due to us not being able to take a report last week, Snapper has grown quite a bit. He has grown 8.79 grams from two weeks ago. Snapper has been moving around more and enjoys sitting on top of his rock. Snapper’s main diet is currently still ReptoMin floating food sticks. He sometimes will eat mealworms, but it depends on the day. The average speed of a snapping turtle on land is 2.4 mph but can increase up to 10 to 12 mph when they are in water. In Chemistry l right now, we are learning about metallic bonds and the properties of metals. Come back when Christmas break is over to see Snapper’s progress!
