Answer 1

If your snapper is a year old, you don't know that it is a female. If you get another one, the odds are 50:50 that it will be the opposite s*x, though. You'll be able to tell in another 5-7 years.

Snappers occupy many types of bodies of water. They seem to prefer ponds, marshes, and backwaters the most, though.

Answer 2

Check out pet stores or place an ad in your local paper or even put up fliers if you can,Good Luck.
