I hesitate to mention this, but I saw a bigger one, walking down the middle of the street on the Quantico Marine Corps base in 2006 or so. It was huge, the shell was about 3 feet across, the head was about 9 inches long.

It walked to the Chopawamsic creek as it forms a shallow lake leading into the Potomac River and nobody tried to get in its way. Looked like a dinosaur.

Bass Pro Shops in Springfield had one like that in the aquarium for several years.
