Thanks lisa, there is a spot where they are quite common sometimes seeing more than two in a day!

I agree with Brendan those are really cool!

I agree with lisa on the common snapping turtle ID http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_snap...
and the turtle on the right looks like a razor backed musk turtle to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor-backe...

I think this is a western ribbon they have the dot on the head the eastern's do not.

Yeah that was a fun trip over there!

Thanks for the ID Aaron this has been bugging me.

There is an abundance of them at the arkansas river there was an island shaped like an L in the middle of the river covered in rocks so me and a friend waded out to it and flipped rocks at the bottom of the L that was sticking out into the water and the first rock we flipped had seven under it we assumed that was just where they got landed when swimming down the river so we tested it by releasing one up stream a little bit and boom he showed up at the bottom of the L!

My ID was concluded from first hand experience and from "A Field Guide to Oklahoma's Amphibians and Reptiles"

Thanks maria!
