    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What type of turtle? Value?

red-bellied cooter
Value is negligible, they get bigger than Red Eared Sliders so are avoided by most pet keepers

Wouldnt a red belly cooter have.......a red belly?


This turtle is definetly not a red belly cooter. I am not sure the species, can't quite tell from thr pictures provided. I can say its not any species of slider, cooter, painted, map, snapper, mud/musk turtles.
 
I agree with western pond turtle. Please release it where you found it. Illegal to possess in California.

"It is illegal to capture, collect, intentionally kill or injure, possess, purchase, propagate, sell, transport, import or export any native reptile or amphibian, or part of one, with very few exceptions in the law. That includes western pond turtles and desert tortoises. (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 40)"
