Um, let's see. I don't think snappers shed outer scutes. Painteds, sliders, cooters, blandings, spotted, and Western ponds do. I can't remember if maps, muds, or musks do.
I don't know...it's a mixed bag. Most of your fast, streamlined aquatic turtles shed their scutes. They "choose" streamlining over rigidity.
