I've been meaning to take some pics of my adult NA Woods. Here's one of the females... She's approximately 6.5".
I'll post a few more later.

Nice picture. Is the bright orange typical of NA woods?

Yes, it pretty typical, probably representing most of the population. Some woods have very dull orange and the Western Great Lakes localities are yellow rather than orange. The range is pretty much from Yellow up through red-orange. Some are fairly colorless, but I believe orange is the predominant color.

He's about 7" with bright orange.

He's the Big Boy at 8". His coloring has more brown on top but his soft parts are reddish orange. He has nice shell coloration, brown with yellow striations.

She's the smallest female I have at 6.2". She probably has the deepest red-orange coloration of all the adults. I like her darker face.

She's the largest girl at 8". She's got the light shell and piercing eyes.

NA woods are all over the place where I am. They are the most common turtle in my area other than snappers.

Those are some great looking woods Paul! You've got some collection going. Where did you get them? Amulius and the gang are doing pretty well. I'm sort of in the process of making them an outdoor enclosure. I know you were selling Pontouf but did are you selling Oscar and Anouk too? Oscar is a handsome guy. Let me know if you're ever parting with him. Talk to you later,

This is my first observation of "Glyptemys" for this genus. Out of curiosity, can you tell me what author proposed this change? Personally, I am a hide-bound. moss-backed "lumper", rather than a "splitter" and hold that nothing is official until it passes the International Commission on Biological Nomenclature. Thanks.

I don't have all the background really but recall that it occur around 02/03.
