I agree this little guy is adorable. I have to wonder though I don't know a lot about turtles but he looks more like a juvenile alligator snapping turtle rather than a common snapping turtle because of the very defined arches and his on his shell; whereas a common snapping turtle does have arches but they're not as defined, they tend to be more smooth.
