I am glad you did not get offended by my post earlier in the thread. That is cool you have six (6) acres along with a pond.

When you first posted the picture, I assumed, note the word in assumed, that your specimen did not come from nature. Hence my previous comment.

I completely agree with you. Is it common for Trachemys scripta scripta to be melanistic?
