u mean PNT or SST?

PNT is due to them listed in CITES II back in early 2005 then the origin countries banned export. so sg ban them as pets.

SST shld b cos scared ppl release into reservoirs n ponds n spoil the local eco system.

just for general knowledge what do PNT and SST eat?

bsplenden is right. PNT's diet consist mainly of plant matters. its not right to give them a high protein diet. pellets that contains ard 30% or less of protein is recommended for them.

One thing for sure, those who deal with SST one will tell you they are no angel and are super aggressive.

that's right.

and not only that. to fully complement their jaws which pack quite a punch, they are able to extend their necks by quite a bit too. thus extending their reach.
