Since you know the identity of your turtles, please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field with Trachemys scripta elegans. Also, I've moved these to the Pets category. I know you technically "rescue" them but since you're in CA where they can't be released, I figure they will be pets the rest of their lives. Keep up the good work!
