Hi,
could you, please, help me with the identification of these three species from Spain? They all come from Valencia, obviously, a turtle is some introduced species.
I have my guesses but I am not sure.
Thank you for your help!
Petr

Hi Petr,
The lizard is Psammodromus edwarsianus and the frog is Pelophylax perezi. The terrapin is one of the introduced species as you suggest, not sure which one though.

I keep searching with the terrapin

the terrapin looks like one of the Trachemys/Pseudemys complexes. As far as I see the head/neck markings maybe a P. floridana

The turtle ID is rather difficult. I agree with Mario that it might be Pseudemys floridana but I would not exclude Trachemys scripta scripta similar to this

Thank you both for narrowing down my search!
I keep on with that and do my ID homework
