This little guy made it to California in 400# of crawfish... I say its a painted turtle, wife says other wise, and she's afraid its a snapper. She thinks this because of the way it went after a piece of raw catfish I threw in his aquarium ...

If he gets loose you will ruin the ecosystem of California.

BTW, I can't ID him. The pic is too small

I'm not positive what it's real name is but we call them stink turtles.

Not a snapper because you are not dead yet.

So you're planning on keeping him?

You've almost have to keep a turtle that survived that kind of trip.

Eastern Mud Turtle, but not over 60% confidence on that.

It's a freaking Piss Turtle.

You let them bite your glove then twist their heads off.

Me and the farmer caught 72 in one running of the traps.

One of you damn turtle experts tell me how to choose which turtles to choot in my lake (I want to keep the ones who eat grass, kill the ones who eat fish)
