Central Alabama Turtle

SalS Oct 12, 2008 10:32 PM

I'm going through some old pictures and can't get a good ID on this one. I think it is some kind of Graptemys but the head stripes really don't match with anything found in Central Alabama. My guess is G. pulchra, but the head markings are all wrong. Any ideas?

It looks like a female Black knob map, G. nigrinoda nigrinoda, which is found in central Alabama.

Definately a Graptemys nigrinoda nigrinoda.
