This common snapping turtle shell with plastron (bottom plate) has missing scute scales. The shells are scraped and dried and then washed with soap and water. We put some Lemon Pledge on them before shipping. These common snapping turtle shells are often used to make medicine bags, talking sticks, and other craft projects. They come in a range of patterns. Want to display your turtle shell? No problem! You can either drill a hole and hang it with a hook or nail, or attach a hanger to the back....
