ok.. i have two snils in my tank... one of them is pretty small and the other one i very big.. he's about twice the size of Hector (my turtle).. however... Hector is constantly bitting at him and maybe trying to eat him... the onee thats twice is size.. but i've never seen him go after the smaller one.. is this normal??? im thinking maybe i just have a super awesome turtle with lots of manhood!

anything that you put in the tank with your turtle is likely to become turtle food at some point or another... if you dont want them to get eaten, id take them both out

When i first got my turtle I bought snails hoping that they would help the filters keep the tank clean, but they ended up as a tasty snack for Leo instead :-)
Turtles eat anything they can, even if it's twice their size haha.
