FWC rules prohibit taking or possessing turtles from the wild that are listed on Florida's imperiled species list. These turtles are listed as imperiled:

• Alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii)
• Barbour's map turtles (Graptemys barbouri)
• Suwannee cooters (Pseudemys suwanniensis)

Also prohibited is taking species that look similar to the imperiled species, which include common snapping turtles and cooters.

• Cooters (Pseudemys sp.)
• Escambia Map Turtle (Graptemys ernsti)
• Snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentine)
