Found sunbathing on a log in a pond in Connecticut
Red Ear Sliders lack the painted edge of the carapace
Could it be a Red Eared Slider?
MitchRay, good call...definitely an "Eastern Painted Turtle"
Ok ... I'm new to this, but I'll try! Thanks
Looks like a painted turtle. If you edit this spotting to include locality data we can probably make an accurate ID.
