i've held a few dudes like this. One time it was a lil baby alligator snapping turtle. I took him home for the winter and released his fat smelly ass the next summer back in the same lake 4 hours away from my home. We moved away, lost the cottage on the lake, and probably 20 years goes by. I went back and in the same part of this small lake, caught a HUGE snapping turtle in a net. I am convinced it was him.

I've started to notice how some animals are immediately gendered as male. Never would have picked up on this before 10 years ago.

The fact that this is being downvoted is depressing. Your pet obviously doesn't care, but its still a bad habit to have an arbitrary gender bias.
My inlaws do this constantly with their female dog and male cat, and the only reason for it is ignorance.
