According to the Turtles of the United States and Canada book, by Carl Ernst et al, bog turtles and spotted turtles hybridize sometimes under natural conditions.
Do you still have the turtle?

I found one 5 years ago in Northern Virginia (Fairfax). I sold it for $500 since. But since I had Bogs as kids, and spotteds now, I quickly realized it was a hybrid.
