Juvenile Female Florida Softshell. Crop from a larger photo. Note the fleshy lips around the hard, sharp jaws (lower edge visible). Note the nasal septal ridge to either side of the nasal septum (Florida softshells & most Spiny softshells (except perhaps some Guadalupe spinies) have this ridge but Smooth softshells don't). Location: St. Petersburg, Florida. Photo: Jami Wayne.
