Even with the rust colored belly?

New Jersey here he is again after a little brushing

Here is the plastron

This turtle came from a gross pond that is being drained. He doesn't fit the profile for a map turtle but I don't have any other idea.

Yeah, I wouldn't be able to keep him here. I would take him to Cedar run Wildlife rescue. What causes this?

I found this turtle while herping. I released it but now I'm thinking I should have taken it to wildlife vet.v

How do I create a nesting spot? The egg has turned out to be fertile. :) she laid 2 more, all surface. She laid them a week apart? She has a cuttlebone but doesn't eat it :/

Beautiful!!
