While I would like to say that I agree with you, most of the documentation that I can find states that these turtles are native to southern US, and more specifically, the SE USA. Not trying to start an arguement, but I can really can't find any information that states otherwise.
Best Wishes,

>>Not to throw a wrench into the workings, but Trachemys scripta elegans is actually native to southern portions of Ohio along the Ohio River. Populations elsewhere in the state are likely introduced, but there are native populations of T. s. elegans in Ohio.
