The red eared turtle (Latin name: Trachemys scripta elegans), also known as the Brazilian turtle or the painted turtle, is a species of red eared painted turtle in the reptile class. The head, neck, limbs, and tail of the red eared turtle are covered with uneven yellow green inlaid stripes. There are two thick red stripes on both sides of the head, and the cornea of the eyes is green with a black dot in the center. The snout is blunt, and there are irregular yellow green inlaid spots in the center of each shield of the dorsal and ventral shells. Red eared turtles are lively and sensitive to water and vibration, and prefer to inhabit clear ponds. The red eared turtle is mainly distributed in the Mississippi River and Grand River systems in the United States and Mexico.
