Malaclemys terrapin terrapin — Northern Diamondback Terrapin

The Northern Diamondback Terrapin is a uniquely beautiful brackish-water turtle native to the eastern coastline of North America, recognized by its distinctive diamond-patterned, ridged scutes and speckled grey skin. It inhabits salt marshes, tidal creeks, and coastal lagoons, requiring brackish water conditions in captivity. One of the more challenging turtles to keep due to its specific salinity and dietary needs.
