Florida Snapping Turtle

Description:

The Florida Snapping Turtle looks very similar to the Common Snapping Turtle.
However, the Common Snapping Turtle has less scales and spikes on top of the head and its neck muscles are not as strong.
Also, the snout of the Florida Snapping Turtle is more pointed than that of the Common Snapping Turtle.
