I said the same to the guy at the pet shop they bought it from! Took in my handbook aswell.
Well, perhaps now I should just advertise as 'Map Turtles'.

You mean the petshop didn't know what species they were selling? How unusual is that!

No that's a False Map, a Miss Map has a yellow crescent that comes round behind and under the eye, and they don't have the bar across the eye.

Have a look at these photos of Miss Maps Photo Gallery

Then these of Falsies Photo Gallery

Now you see why I said unknown ! they are so close some of these that I cant tell the difference ! I gave up trying to define which it was.

Miss Maps are actually pretty easy, if it doesn't have the eye bar then it's almost certainly a Miss Map because all other map species do have one.

Apparently some hybridisation occurs with neighbouring species though, and there have been a few Miss Maps reported with eye bars.

But it's pretty safe to say that No Eye Bar = Miss Map.

I never knew that. So there is a simple identifying feature.

Just measured them both. Both are roughtly 3 1/2 inches long not counting the curve of the carapace. I'll stick another picture up of them. Can't find the camera so a mobile shot will do.
