GBIFID: 1899793777; Occurrence Remarks: Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park, Mesilla, NM. Seasonally flooded pond W of the Rio Grande. Three adult female Trachemys were caught at the pond during bioblitz on 25-26 Aug 2018. Two were clearly T. s. elegans, but one (the turtle in photos 1 and 2 and on the left in the 3rd and 4th photos) appeared to be a T. gaigeae -- nearly all characteristics other than some stripe coloration seemed to conform with that species -- but I cant exclude the possibility that its a hybrid. In the 4th photo: Similar to T. scripta, older female T. gaigeae can get extensive melanism on the plastron, obscuring the distinctive plastral pattern of that species, as evident in this individual. Note also the deeper anal notch on the plastron in the T. gaigeae vs. the T. s. elegans, typical of gaigeae.
