Abstract     
This family is represented in Florida by two species, the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) and the alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii). The former is found throughout the state except for the Florida Keys. The latter is restricted to the major river systems from the Suwannee River westward. Snapping turtles are easily recognized by their relatively large size, long tails, large heads, and defensive attitudes.
