(about 3-4" average max.)

Thanks

I think in the south they have a stripe down their backs, and more yellow in between the lines on their shells. Very cool!

hmmm no stripe or extra yellow
at least not the subspecies of
that one
closest match would be the Mobilian
with the red splotch on the neck
but i can't remember the latin

Huh.. they are supposed to look like this .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, yes, got those
tho the stripe on the back is
normally not so vibrant, at least
here
look more like the box turtles
but as this IS louisiana, they're
probably inbr... i mean cross-bred
