I am very confused now… what are the difeerences between these subspecies as it look s as If I have one of each in my collection. Julie Chun-Ming Chew wrote:
northerns tend to have an oblong shell where the carolina terrapins are more semetric. The carolina terrapins are lighter in color usually as well.
