Apparently, drug dealers has been caught using Alligator-snapping turtle for protecting their drugs.

This poor fella is now drug-free.

A spokesman from the New England Aquarium told Practical Fishkeeping that the turtle was recovered from a drug raid in Long Island and was loaned to the Aquarium by a local organisation that deals with reptile-related problems for the State.

The Aquarium claims that an increasing number of drug dealers are using animals to protect their drug stashes.

“The popular one here is the Pit bull, but big snakes, not always venomous ones, are also used. It’s not common to see snapping turtles used.
