The ornamental turtle[2] (Chrysemys picta) is a water inhabiting turtle from the family of terrapins (Emydidae). The ornamental turtle is related to the much better known red cheek turtle.[3] It owes its name to the striking red and yellow marks and stripes on the legs, head and shell. Three different subspecies are distinguished that differ in both appearance and range.
