Information about the Southern Painted Turtle:

Southern Painted Turtles are predominantly found from Alabama to Southern Illinois. These turtles can be identified by the broad red, orangish, or yellow stripe down the middle of their carapace. They live in slow-moving permanent bodies of water, preferring a soft bottom with abundant aquatic plant life and places to bask such as rocks, logs, or floating vegetation.
