What a beautiful lady! Come check out this awesome and lively Midland Painted Turtle, the only subspecies of Painted Turtle found native in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. This is Michigan's most common turtle, but if you're anywhere in the Painted Turtle's range, this is definitely a familiar face for you as well. Learn more about these natural pieces of art, and what important roles they have in the ecosystems they call home!
Herp Quest is a series dedicated to celebrating and learning all about herpetology (reptiles and amphibians). Whether they be our cold-blooded friends in our back yards, out in the field, or even some of the ones we cherish as pets, if it's a reptile or amphibian, it's definitely something I want to learn more about. Let's learn some herpetology together!
