Hey folks,
I photographed five turtles laying on a log in a swamp in east TN. Four of the turtles seem like they are they same species (the four on the left in the photo). They turtle on the right may be a different species. Could the four on the left be some kind of painted turtle? In TN there are only south and eastern painted turtles. These turtles are a little muddy which is hampering easy identification for me.
The turtle on the right is somewhat separated from the rest and has noticeable yellow stripes. It could be a pond slider.
I've divided the photograph into the four turtles on the left and the single turtle on the right.
Any know about these turtles?
Thanks,
