Looks like your off to a good start, I suggest you google the specie of turtle you want to carve and print off some referance photos.

I agree with Marci, that's a dang snapper for sure. If you wanna make it into a really cute little fella, round off the back a whole bunch. "we hate snappers" they eat all our young fishies. Otherwise, I'd say yer off to a good start.
