Information about the Eastern Painted Turtle:

Eastern Painted Turtles are medium-sized turtles that range from Nova Scotia to Georgia. They have two large yellow spots on the sides of their heads. Like other painted turtles they can be found in lakes, ponds, streams and slow moving rivers and swamps. These reptiles are very popular in the pet trade and are often kept in large aquariums.
