I've been catching some turtles at my local lake and I've been catching what looks like snapping turtles but with a long nose, I've never seen one like this before. I've got two in my tank right now, You guys know anything on this?
Long Nosed Snapping Turtle?

Ok I found what it is, Sorry I could not takes pics no camera yet lol, They are Florida Mud Turtles. Kinda let down cause I wanted snappers but these will do until I can get a trap to set.
Luckily Mud Turtles are tiny. I wouldn't bring home anything, especially a Turtle which can potentially get freakin' huge, and possibly have varying land to water ratio, diet, or temperature needs...
When you said turtle with a long nose I figured you meant the Florida Soft Shell.
