thats was i had thought also. do you know if its legal to own maps in virginia? I found these guys abandoned in a tank on the side of a road, ready to be picked up with the rest of the garbage. so i had to snag them.
Good job there friend, I wish there were more people like you 
The second turtle is a false map turtle Graptemys pseudogeographica sp. Both are very easily kept species you will find very enjoyable to have. If you want care tips go to wwww.austinturtlepage.com and go to the care sheets. They have a very complete care sheet for sliders, the needs are very similar so you can use that one as model.
