That’s not an aligator snapping turtle. That is a snapping turtle. Big difference in price because aligator snapper is a more rare species. So the news people misidentified it.

I think you’re right. The carapace is too smooth on this one.

You are indeed correct. Not to mention an alligator snapping turtle would not even fit into that cage.
Who wants to have a turtle like this as a pet? It seems pretty big and pretty boring.
