I've got two questions to ask, but I'll start with this; In my dirt driveway we always get this massive puddle that we wade through. It's normally a hot spot for frogs, but now I found a baby snapping turtle in it. I haven't seen these guys around, and there aren't any egg shells. Should I just leave this little guy be, or help them out?
You could, and when he gets bigger, he'll leave on his own good time. Just make sure you don't drive through that puddle.

*You could leave him
Feed him little feeder fish it's cool as fuck to watch

How can something so cute, grow to be so goddamn ugly.
Put him back, maybe 100 years from now he will still be here, while you're long gone.
I've found many in dried up puddles that thought were dead.
Just find somewhere like a pond that won't dry up and put it there.

>don't drive through the puddle
I'm able to drive around it.
Anyway, onto the second question.
What the fuck are these things, and why were they in my dog's food? Thing is, I dump the food into a container that can hold three bags worth of food. It was convenient until I had to dump it all out.

Feed it human flesh, just to see what happens

How long ago did you buy the food and did it come in one of those big paper sacks? That's a millipede (or at least that's what everyone I know calls them) and if your container seals properly then there were probably eggs in the bag you dumped into it

Don't feed him goldfish or mollies/guppies. Those fish have some kind of chemical in them that can kill turtles.
>>2157656
To me those don't look like true millipedes More like some sort of insect larvae. Could be wrong, I dunno.
I would personally put him back. He seems to be doing okay.

guppies are good, goldfish are not
>>2157659
>some kind of chemical
that sounds made up or like an old wives' tale

Goldfish and rosy reds (and many other coldwater fish) are high in thiaminase. Eating too much of it causes viatmin B1 deficiency.

That's more like it. Thanks for the info.

That's one hell of an adorable little dinosaur you've got there, OP

Has it bit you? How much damage can it do at that size? Just curious.
Had one of these as a pet for 10 years. The really small ones tame easily.
