Barbour's Map Turtle (Graptemys barbouri) is a species of turtle in the Emydidae family. It is endemic to the eastern United States.

Geographic range

It is found in rivers located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

Etymology

The specific name or epithet, barbouri, is in honor of American herpetologist Thomas Barbour.

Ownership

Owning Barbour's Map Turtles is outlawed in Georgia, Michigan, and Alabama. There is a limit of two turtles per person in Florida. Like all map turtles, they are under the protection of the Salmonellosis Four-Inch Regulation disallowing these turtles to be sold if they are under the length of 4 inches (10 cm).

Appearance

Male Barbour's Map Turtles are on average from 3.5 to 5.5 inches (9 – 14 cm) long. Whereas female Barbour's Map Turtles can be from 6 to 12.5 inches (15 – 32 cm) long. According to Conant, "Females attain really imposing dimensions, and their heads are enormously enlarged". These turtles possess black tipped spines on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th vertebrae. These are very noticeable in males, and resemble a dorsal fin.

Diet

Barbour's Map Turtles mainly consume mollusks, insects, and small fish found in rivers.
