1990 in Point Pelee, Ontario. Painted, box or red slider? (or one of the 3-4 other species supposed to have been there).

I truly don’t know but Slider was first in my thoughts.

Midland Painted Turtle Chrysemys picta marginata. Red-eared Slider occurs not far away and has more patterned scoots but isnt mapped as occurring at Point Pelee.

I looked at this abstract

Where a person tagged 867 Painted (and a lot of others) and observed 3 red-eared sliders at the park.

Seems fair enough - my maps (from Peterson) are likely out of date and insufficiently fine scale. But still a Midland Painted .

Thank you all. At this time it seems to me the consensus is (midland) painted T.
