The Life Cycle of a Painted Turtle
Painted turtles are ancient, cold-blooded reptiles that lay eggs and must hibernate through the winters.
Turtles of the Southeast
Seventy-five percent of the turtle species in the United States can be found in the Southeast. In fact, the region is second only to parts of Asia in its number of native turtles. Filled with more than two hundred color photographs and written with a special focus on conservation, this guide covers forty-five species of this nonthreatening, ancient lineage of long-lived reptiles. Heavily illustrated, fact-filled descriptions of each species and its habitat comprise the heart of the book. Species accounts cover such information as descriptions of adults and hatchlings; key identifiers including size, distinctive characters and markings; land, river, pond, and wetland habitats; behaviors and a...
Painted Turtle
Painted turtles are some of the most endearing reptiles available to modern keepers. They are one of the easier aquatic species to care for, but you'll have to establish a proper habitat for your new pets and adopt maintenance procedures that will keep them healthy and happy. Accordingly, as when caring for any other pet, new keepers must strive to learn as much as possible about the behavior, ecology and biology of the species. This is the only way to provide them with the highest quality of life possible. Inside, you will find the information you need to learn how to take care of painted turtles. You will learn about the habitat requirements and nutritional needs of these colorful turtles, as well as the things you need to look for when selecting your new pet.
Painted Turtle
Painted turtles are the maximum common species of aquatic turtle in North America. This aquatic turtle spends maximum of its time in ponds and sluggish-shifting streams. Spanning from Canada to northern Mexico, the painted turtle stands proud with its yellow- and crimson-striped pores and skin and yellow to crimson underbelly.Painted turtles develop to a mean shell length (known as a carapace) of round 12 inches, with the girl western painted turtles achieving a mean length of 1 foot. Generally, girl painted turtles become large than their male counterparts. On the smaller give up of the painted turtle spectrum is the southern painted turtle, which grows to a length of simply five inches. Tu...

The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan
Holman uniquely bridges the gap between neo- and paleoherpetology and shows that Michigan's modern herpetofaunas reflect Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene (warm period after the ice age) events, as the entire modern population was forced to re-invade the state after the last withdrawal of ice. In Part 1, Holman discusses Michigan as an amphibian and reptile habitat, including a geological, climatic, and vegetational history. Part 2 presents recent species accounts, covering all fifty-four species of amphibians and reptiles, along with their general distribution, Michigan distribution (with range maps), geographic variation, habitat and habits, reproduction and growth, diet, predation and defense, interaction with humans, behavioral characteristics, population health, and general remarks. In Part 3, Holman examines the Michigan herpetofauna in Quaternary and recent historical times and the species accounts include Pleistocene, Holocene, and archaeological records.
Elsevier's Dictionary of Reptiles
This dictionary gives an overview of the English, German, French and Italian names of reptiles. The basic table contains the scientific names of families, genera, species and some sub-species with their identified names, which are given in the singular for species and sub-specis and in the plural for other terms.
