Native to the SE United States and northern Mexico, they are the most-common turtle pets in the US, and popular as pets in the rest of the world, as well. Unfortunately, they escape or are released into the wild and out-compete native turtles. They are listed as one of the 100 most-invasive species in the world--not a good list to be on. (Wikipedia)
