I've had him/her for about a week and have been looking at pics online but I still cannot figure out what kind of turtle Myrtle is. Please help!! Thank you. Not sure how to load pics on here but here are two links.

def a map, I'm pretty sure its not a false map though as I have 2 and they have totally different plastrons (see look at my tummy pic in the photogallery!), I would need a clearer pic of head markings to work out what kind of map it is!

ok I'm completely sure its not a false, mississippi, or ouchita map. I think common map most likely, here's a link to some pics see what you think. http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/world_of_turtles/Northern_(a.k.a._Common)_Map_Turtles_-_Graptemys_geographica/index.html
