Found a turtle!

Wow! I'm not to hot on my turtle species, but do you think he's a wild one? I don't know if you would have wild turtles near you. Otherwise he could be someone's escaped pet! I think he could be a snapper but I couldn't be sure.

hard to tell, but he does kind of look like a snapper to me!

Yep, Snapping Turtle. Every year we have one of those making a nest in our front yard. Then a few months later there are tons of them making a dash to the water.

That's definitely a snapping turtle. I don't know what kind he is though. In Florida we have 2 kinds of snapping turtles, the "Florida snapping turtle" and the "alligator snapping turtle". The Florida snapping turtle doesn't get too large, around 35 pounds. The alligator snapping turtle gets HUGE, they can get up to 200 pounds. The one you have pictured looks like a Florida snapping turtle, which I think is also called a "common snapping turtle.
