Vic,

Not that I am aware of. Barnwell and Walsh co-authored a paper:

Barnwell, M. E., P. A. Meylan and T. Walsh. 1997. The Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) in Central Florida.
Chelonian Conservation and Biology. 2(3):405-408.

I know that the guy that was catching them down in the "swamp" posted pics on FieldHerpForum. I think some had high spot counts but I can't remember. I don't remember what the one we had at the zoo looked like. It might still be there.

I was checking the map on the Rice Creek locale. There looks to be swamp all around. Somebody really needs to spend some time trying to figure them out in FL. Now, should be the perfect time to look although my buddy Mickey who lives in G'ville said it was in the 80's today and he was going to go look for EDBs if it wasn't raining.
