I found this turtle in the road today. I live outside of Fayetteville NC, as you know has been hit hard with hurricane Mathew. I have never in my years seen a turtle like this. At first I thought it was a snapping turtle. But I just don't know. I will do my best to describe it and I am attaching pictures also. He is a little bit bigger than a computer mouse. Shell is flat on top not rounded. Bottom is hinged both front and back. The tail has what looks and feels like a toe nail attached to the end. He has not showed any aggression towards me. He has lots of loose skin around his head. He has been fairly active since I saved his life from the road. I hope someone can help me identify this little guy.
