I live in Florida (jacksonville to be more exact). I found this guy tring to cross a busy road during traffic hour. Took him to a couple of pet shops and no one could ID it. Anyonw know what it maybe? I let it go after a few pics. It has these red markings on both sides of its shell.

Pseudemys nelsoni. They're pretty common all over Florida, I am surprised the pet stores couldnt ID that one for you.

Most pet store employess still think geckos are amphibians. Yes, that is Pseudemys nelsoni, and a big one. This species is one of the more common ID requests on this forum.
