They are very common in the U.S., probably the most common turtle you can buy.

No they are not, I live by the lake and there is a bunch of em. I saw a lot at the lfs today, I MEAN A LOT. they are almost pests here.

They are in abundance in Canada also. Not aloud to sell here as they are indigenous to the location. I have one that was pulled from a lake about 10 years ago from my father in law and he is great. will eat out of your hand and cruises around the back yard when i change water.
