@milldabeast519 Yes, there are like 9 species of snappers, 2 in NA.. Common like this one and Allys are easy to tell apart.. Commons have a smooth carapace, allies have spikes.. The beaks are also more pronounced on allys.. Allys also have the famous worm like fleshy tongue. If you look at pics of baby allies and common snappers you will clearly see the differences.

@ReptileMan27 i meant 9 species of snappers, chelydridae family?
-
@milldabeast519 I'm sorry but your facts are very mixed up.. Their is only 1 species of Ally snapper.. When they are younger the differences are clear enough.. Their are several species of snappers as a whole,2 in NA. This is a common snapper ;)

@ReptileMan27 yea but when there young like this there very similar. i have looked at most of the pics on the net. A.S snapper spikes get big once they grow.they have more of an over bite but they still look very similar at this age. theres 8 species of alligator snappers im pretty sure.

@milldabeast519 100% sure, ally snappers have spikes on their shells and more pronounced beak.. Look at pics of each and will see clear difference ;)
