Nice looking terrapin you have there...... For a positive ID for a map, we'd need pictures of the top and side of the head.....

I'd say false map - going on eye colour, general colouration and that these most commonly found in the pet trade.... but a clear head shot would clinch it.

Very sweet turtle, I have one of these too

No we don't.
The yellowish mouth or beak is a trademark of the False Map Turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica pseudogeographica).
