Turtle ID

[LaLaP]

Hi all! A friend sent me a photo of a wild turtle laying eggs near his local pond in Nevada City, California. Can anyone identify this beauty? Are they native? My friend said the pond is full of them!

Looks like a red ear slider.

Agree. Not native. That is a slider. Probably a red-ear. But slider for sure.
