I live in Florida USA where they live.We find them crossing the roads in summer looking for a place to lay eggs or males wondering around after heavy rain.Their the most rugged turtle alive.Live in flooded woods,deep river,drainage ditches,retention pond at the end of a parking lot leatching oil in the water.I used to feed them road kill snakes,squerals fish etc.There are still abundant but starting to go to Chinese food market,so Florida is making new laws on super collecting,and during breeding/egg laing season.Their bred on big farms in mid western USA (Oaklahoma,Arkansas)by the tens of thousands.Most all being exported out of the USA for the pet trade.The pit bull of turtles!
