Any ideas?

This was caught in TX, any ideas? Weird domed carapace plus looks of a Cooter or something along that lines.

It looks like a Rio grande RES to me Just that it grew domed.

I saw a picture of a Yellow Mud Turtle that sort of looked similar and they are found in Texas, New Mexico, etc. But, I am no expert.

Yup I thought of that too, thanks Danny.

That's kinda freaky. Any ideas as to why it would grow that way?

Wow! A Turtoise!!! (I didn't think cooters and sliders could interbreed and make babies???)

Yvonne "A Turtoise" Love the Term
Anja, I never seen one so domed. Beautiful little one though. Is it perfect in every other way?

it looks like a common red ear or map, but it does have an unusual shape to it.
