Status
Cumberland Slider (Trachemys scripta troosti) is a non-native subpecies that has been noted as occurring in Maryland in literature, including specimens from Lake Roland (NHSM 911, NHSM 992, NHSM 1053, NHSM 1224). Its status today appears uncertain, but it should be considered as possible in future surveys. (B. Norden, pers. comm.)
Description
Similar to the now-abundant Red-eared Slider, but lacking the red stripe on each side of the head.
