Painted turtles usually have horizontal stripes running down their neck. Snapping turtles are drab in color. The maximum size of a Painted turtle is 10 inches. The maximum size for a snapper is between 20 and 30 inches. Snapping turtles cannot withdraw their heads, whereas Painted turtles can close up almost completely.
size is not an accurate way to tell age of a turtle do to the fact that if the turtle is kept in poor conditions ie without light in a very small enclosure not eating correctly or if it is sick... but from my opinion a quarter sized turtle is about 5 weeks old.
