A snapping turtle is a large American freshwater turtle with a large head and powerful jaws. Snapping turtles look like they could be gentle creatures, but are actually aggressive.

Positive: Dreaming of a snapping turtle could represent a sacrifice unto God for a sin offering, adaptive, meekness, or peace and tranquility.

Negative: Seeing a snapping turtle in a dram could symbolize anger, rage, or hastiness.

(Song of Solomon 2:12; Proverbs 29:22; Psalm 73:6).
