Did I say in my last post that turtles would not hit plastics? Well, I was wrong. This big snapper grabbed my plastic artificial corn today. I happen to think these guys will eat ANYTHING. They are super active right now.
I don't think fish or turtles distinguish plastic vs "real". If there is food in the area they will try to eat anything that looks like food. They don't have hands to pick it up and analyze it. The only way they can figure it out is by sampling it in there mouths. The magic of plastics is that it gets picked up at all!
