Two Sliders And A Map

When the rains stop & the waters recede a bit, this concrete rock emerges. It is a turtle favorite & one of the places I find map turtles. Today from right to left we have a female red-eared slider, a melanistic elderly male red-eared slider and a male Mississippi map turtle.
