Red-Eared Slider Water Turtle

These water turtles have been seen in pet shops for years. The red marking right behind the ear is a very noticable distinction on these turtles. They are commonly seen in lakes, ponds and wetlands. The females are larger and can reach a shell length of 11 inches. I found this one out in a field a few hundred feet from the lake I was near. This turtle was dry and covered in dirt, so I carried it to the lake. This location was in Lawrenceburg, IN.
