California[edit]

I'm living in the central valley and I see these turtles every day on my way home from school.76.125.53.9 (talk) 19:59, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Raised at Talk:Painted_turtle#California. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 21:33, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are some non-native turtles found in California because of pet releases. Adult turtles survive very well and live for decades. Also, the OP may be seeing red eared sliders (also from pet releases and often confused). Or even just western pond turtles (native to the region).76.79.11.122 (talk) 00:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
