What kind of turtle?

clarkj Jul 23, 2009 06:06 PM

Found in my backyard (near B'ham, AL) and I don't really live close to any water. There are a few small creeks close by.

Think it's some sort of Cooter (Pseudemys sp)

thanks

It's a Red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans.

A very old, melanistic Slider at that...
