Welcome Jason...
We also try to avoid Human words like baby... we can use juvenile, immature, cub, sub-adult, chick, nymph words in case of Organism... than Human related words... Thanks for positive response.

This is most likely a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) and not an alligator snapper. :-)
