Sternotherus carinatus
The carapace is domed and generally dark in color and has a slight keel on it. The skin is also dark with no distinct marking, and they have big bulbous eyes and a pig-like nose. They are actually pretty ugly, but in a cute way :)
Found in the southern US in freshwater. This guy was found in vegetation in a lake.

You sure do have a lot of turtles down there.
