Common Snapping Turtle |
The common snapping turtle, indigenous to the eastern United States, can reach up to 18 inches in length.
Its top shell is strongly serrated and varies from tan/brown to olive to almost black. Its long tail has three rows of saw-tooth keels.
It is illegal in the state to import, buy, sell, possess, transport, or release either of these non-native turtles and most other non-native water turtles.
If you are in possession of a non-native turtle, contact your local ODFW office.
