# in order to use GIF as shape you have to register them first
from turtle import Screen
from snake import Snake
from food import Food
from scoreboard import ScoreBoard
import time


screen = Screen()
screen.setup(width=600, height=600)
screen.bgpic("background.gif")
screen.title("Snake Game")
screen.tracer(0)
screen.register_shape("apple.gif")
screen.register_shape("snake.gif")
screen.register_shape("snake_head.gif")
screen.register_shape("snake_head_right.gif")
screen.register_shape("snake_head_up.gif")
screen.register_shape("snake_head_down.gif")

you can find more detailed information at https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.register_shape

From reading the turtle documentation, here, I don't see anything that says animated gifs can be played within turtle. You are free to read the documentation yourself, but It appears that although to use an image as a shape or background in turtle, it needs to be a .gif file, you cannot actually playback animated gifs in turtle.
