Official Alabama Reptile Alabama Red-bellied Turtle
The official reptile of Alabama is the Alabama Red-bellied Turtle. It lives in the fresh and brackish water of the Mobile Delta in Mobile and Baldwin counties. They are only found in Alabama. Few studies have been done on the Alabama Red-bellied Turtle and so little is known about its life history. In 1990 the Alabama Red-bellied Turtle was named the Official Reptile of Alabama.
