Welcome to Graptemys.com
The purpose of this page is to provide information about the natural history, identification, conservation, legal status, and just overall interest in this group of Emydid turtles called the map turtles (Genus: Graptemys). This website contains a forum where all interested parties from turtle biologists to hobbyists can have open discussion about all aspects of Graptemys. This is a work in progress, so material will be posted slowly as it is finished. Thank you for your interest. Chris Lechowicz
