Hi there,

This turtle is chillin' in our backyard. He was in the driveway and I moved him to the back so we wouldn't run over him. He's not locked in there or anything. I'm not trying to keep him (though he's welcome to stay if he wishes).

This is in the Tampa Bay area (FL).

Please tell me what kind of turtle he is? Thanks!

I think I can see cusps on the upper beak, and there's the mustache-like yellow lines. I also think I see a faint arrow-like marking on the top of the snout. Lastly, the wrinkly-looking texture of the shell is visible.
