Under Reproduction: It says, "Females will lay between 12 and 20 eggs at a time..." In the next paragraph, it says "She lays 10–25 or more eggs in one or more clutches." There is a bit of a discrepancy here.--Spicer5 (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Old talk[edit]

"The eggs hatch within 45 to 56 days and the hatchlings will usually spend stay with the next through their first winter." This sentence makes no sense.

The turtles don't jump into the water - or anywhere else - but they slide into the water with remarkable agility.

That was a typo; it was supposed to be "nest". Thanks for spotting that. howcheng {chat} 17:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

Issue with this article is that Subspecies:eastern river cooter (Pseudemys concinna concinna) and Species: river cooter (Pseudemys concinna) are not the same thing. Have to switch this article to be one and create a separate article for the other. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 00:44, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
