Help on Turtle Identification :D

[maevamichelle]

Hello!
I was wondering if someone here could help identify a turtle that my little sister has.
I took some pictures of it today when we took it outside for some sun. Usually he's in doors in a tank set up like you would for a red ear'd slider.

Thanks!

It's a Painted turtle, Chrysemys picta. I'm going to need a plastron picture to tell what subspecies.

She's a beautiful turtle too...

She is. I have a baby the size of a 50 cent piece. They are quite fun turtles.

The Eastern Painted is one of my favorite of all water turtles. We see them sitting on logs basking in the sun in most all the ponds around here. Your sister's little one looks very healthy. Here's a picture of my Lil Abby when she was a baby. We are soooooo lucky to have Danny with us!
