"Alligator snappers are opportunistic carnivores more often at a young age, but are also scavengers. As they mature they become omnivores and do not pose a threat to fish populations.
Fishermen have glorified the species' ability to catch fish and deplete fish populations.
Minnows are usually the main source of meat for the species at a young age. They will eat almost anything they can catch. Their natural diet consists primarily of aquatic plant life, dead fish carcasses (usually thrown overboard by fishermen), invertebrates, carrion, and amphibians, but they are also known to eat snakes, and even other turtles.
In captivity they may consume almost any kind of meat provided, including rodents, beef, chicken and pork although these are not always healthy on a day to day basis."
