Greg, scroll down a bit and that sure looks like what is shown as one on that link....I personally don't know....so happy comparing...

I had wondered that too, but the coloring just isn't in that pic, compared to the one Greg is holding. I have searched about three sites looking for what this is, none have the coloring yours has.
I never can remember the member with all the turtles, Ben, but I don't know if that's his forum name. I guess I will try it. @ben awes not sure if this is the right one. @yvonne, help me if I have the wrong Ben listed

It is that unique skin that is what I was more finding a contrast to...the plastron also is similar color...but, hey ----what do I know?

Sorry, yes, the skin is similar, I was thinking more the head. I couldn't find any with that colorful of a head. Heck, I'm with you, what do I know, I'm just trolling the Internet

Maybe it's a male, so more colorful, think with that long tail it probably is, and the Internet ones are all female?

Did you catch it in Naples? Look up kinosternon steindachneri.

Your guy looks very colorful, though, his head is super spotted.
