Yellow-bellied Slider

Trachemys scripta scripta

Description:

I'm not sure what species this is... mostly dark green to black in coloration, with distinct yellow markings. After looking at his plastron, I think this one is male. Carapace length was about 12 inches.

Notes:

Very, very friendly. Probably fed by tourists regularly.

Thanks, he was definitely on the older side. He was at least a foot long.
