Thailand in February

For your reports/images, made outside Europe and the "Mediterranean" countries. Not to be too narrow minded and limited to our European/Mediterranean herps.

sorry for no reaction :(
personally I'm short on time now.

Your turtle looks like Heosemys, but for sure no Trachemys.
Getting really hungry, seeing all these nice hind limbs :lol:

Not Trachemys.

All three photos of turtles in question are definitely old Trachemys scripta.
Heosemys grandis has a very different head shape with more prominent and pointed snout, plus a light coloured dorsal ridge/keel in the middle of the carapace (even in "dirty" individuals)

Old Trachemys scripta develop head colours vey similar to those of Heosemys grandis but their head shape and carapace gives them away.
