Description
The yellow mud turtle is a small, olive-colored turtle. Its name comes from the yellow colored areas on its throat, head and on the sides on its neck. The bottom shell is yellow to brown with two hinges, allowing the turtle to close each end separately. The male's tail has a blunt spine on the end, but the female's tail does not.
