Black-bellied Slider
Trachemys nebulosa
Summary 4
The Baja California slider (Trachemys nebulosa) is turtle belonging to the Trachemys genus of the family Emydidae. It is native to Baja California, Sinaloa and Sonora in Mexico.
Diagnosis 5
In Baja Mexico, the only turtles with a colored ear are the Pond slider and the Black-bellied slider. However, the Black bellied slider has a orange or dull yellow "ear", while the pond slider has a red "ear", which makes them very easy to distinguish with a decent photo. Also, the black bellied slider is much bigger than most red-eared sliders, and sometimes has a long "nose".
Conservation 5
This species is poorly known, but likely thriving and in no need of conservation.
