Florida mud turtle

Common and scientific names added.

Hi there. Since you know the identity of your organism, please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field. This allows the spotting to fully enter the database and become complete, letting groups and individuals use the data and find your spotting. It also takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. Thank you!

Here's a great Project Noah blog entry that explains the spotting process:

The triangular-shaped pectoral scutes put this in the Kinosternon genus, and since the carapace doesn't look like the three-striped mud turtle, it must be the Florida mud turtle. See the link provided in the suggestion for great photos of the pectoral scute comparison (scroll down the page).
