Caption:
This was a turtle display inside a pet store, which featured this red-eared slider turtle, Trachymys scripta elegans, lazily perched atop a piece of milled stone, as he was warming himself under the overhead display illumination. Care need be taken when purchasing turtles, for the consumer needs to know that these reptiles can potentially carry germs known as Salmonella, which can be dangerous, especially to children.
