I had walked over there from the children's playground, so that may be a poor idea. ;)

Take you gun next time, those look like easy targets :)

Okay - looks like we need to back that one up then. All you East Coast herpers need to start agreeing on this stuff, because we're still lost over here trying to take care of all your turtles.

The belly is way too yellow for this to be a northern red-belly. I think it is one of the southern cooters. Possibly P. floridana or P. nelsoni.
