Chrysemys picta
Shell was about 6 inches long or so. Head and tail with yellow markings. Neck with red markings
Small, muddy pond surrounded by woodlot in suburban area.
There were a number of these turtles seen swimming near the surface of this pond. This was the largest.
Thanks for your comments and your suggestion. I am more of a butterfly person, too. :)
Thank you for the information. I am trying to learn more about turtles. Where I am if you see red it is most likely the slider. I am more of a butterfly person, but trying to expand my knowledge. This is what is great about Project Noah.
I only know because I have a painted turtle and a red-eared slider as pets. Red-eared sliders have a red stripe on their necks. This is a mature adult painted turtle (most likely female). It has a reddish coloration around the base of the neck, not a stripe.
