Trachemys scripta scripta
Baby turtle. It is brown yellow and green and has tiny claws
We found this turtle on our porch. It most lull lives near the pond in our front yard.
When we kept it, it preferred the rock and dry area to the water area in our container but when we put it back by the pond it immediately went into the water
If the underbelly has no spots it is likely a cooter, if there are two spots on the underbelly close to the head it is a yellow bellied slider
