I’m tired of all the turtle ID inquiry posts here which mostly turned out to be some ugly sliders . So I decided to increase the difficulty ;););)
I’ll give you the answer after I receive more than 10 replies to this post . Winner gets absolutely no prize ??
Here we go ( hint , this one is a super rare)

It's a long neck/snake neck but the exact type I haven't the foggiest.. The markings on the neck and the legs is throwing me.
Shell reminds me of eastern, but they are pretty common and the "flesh" usually isn't all patterned.

I have been enjoying these ID that Turtle challenges.

I am NOT able to recognize many turtles offhand, but I've been enjoying the mental stretch trying to figure out what visible characteristics are there to narrow down the possibilities. The clues are helpful, too.

More, please! :D
