Yellow-bellied slider turtles (Trachemys scripta scripta) live in the southeastern United States. Adult males are usually 5 to 9 inches long. Females are usually 8 to 13 inches long.  Melanistic males have been observed to become larger than nonmelanistic males.

The carapace, or upper shell, is usually brown and black. It often has yellow stripes. The skin is olive green. It has clear yellow patches along the neck and legs.

As its name implies, the plastron, or underside shell, is largely yellow, with black spots running along the edges. Adults often get darker as they age. Trachemys scripta scripta spend the winter in burrows along the bank or buried in the pond bottom. When submerged, they rely on cloacal respiration to obtain oxygen.
