Look Who's On Turtle Rock Today

I always check this rock to see who is basking there. This time we have a river cooter at the top. An elderly melanistic red-eared slider in the middle and a young brightly colored red-eared slider at the bottom. Nice mix.
Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)
River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna)
