Default Turtle id required please.
I have collected two turtles this evening.
One is a YBS and the other I'm not sure.
Can some one give me a positive id please?

This is the one I'm not sure about.








Male/female?

Your photos are fantastic for ID. I'll bet a turtle person can come to a conclusion easily.

I see it closely resembling a Cagles Map turtle... It's definately a Map turtle.

I'm gonna say Ernst's Map turtle...

Why I don't get into water turtles is because the taxonomy... totally... sucks. They ID turtles according to watersheds...think about it...

Anyway... very cool turtle... keep us posted on the ID please.

Unless that tail grows any longer it's a female Ouachita Map, how old is it?
