I cant post my pictures correctly could some one tell me how?

Assuming you've uploaded them onto your computer. Head over to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

Then make an account (its free) and upload your pictures to that. It takes about 3-10 minutes normally for me, depending on your computer it may be different, so be patient.

Then copy and paste the IMG code onto a post, and the picture should appear once you post the message.

Remember to make sure you included the whole IMG code.

I don't know much, is that a small snapper? It's head shape looks similar to most of the snappers I've seen.

I don't know if you are able to see from my photos, but the loggerhead musk turtle has olive colored skin that is covered in black dots as well as a distinctively patterned shell that you can't see because of the moss on his back. But if he was a snapper he would have a much longer tail.

this is a snapper.

No problem, I also have a disabled chicken turtle and a temporary red ear slider. The reason why the chicken turtle is a handicap is because i found him after another creature bit off his hind legs which are now stumps. My RES (red ear slider) is temporary because i am using him for educational purposes and letting him go before winter gets to cold for hibernation. It has now become illegal to buy and keep red ears in florida without a special license. But I think I will be fine because I found him in my pond so he wasn't obtained illegally.

I feel bad for that chicken turtle. Does he move around okay?

I too bought a red eared slider which was illegal. It's legal to keep one, but not to buy one of a certain size. Unfortunately I couldn't resist and bought a baby res, have had him for 1+ years and hes grown alot.
