Reptilia Mauremys reevesii, commonly known as Reeves' turtle, is a species of turtle native to East Asia. It is part of the family Geoemydidae. While not native to the Comunidad Valenciana, it can sometimes be found in local habitats, likely through the pet trade and subsequent releases.

This species is characterized by the following features:

• Size: Adults typically grow to a carapace length of 15 to 25 cm.
• Appearance: Reeves' turtles have a moderately domed carapace which can vary in color from dark brown to olive, featuring three distinctive longitudinal keels. The plastron usually has a lighter color with dark patches on each scute.
• Habitat: Though not native, in the Comunidad Valenciana they may be found in slow-moving streams, ponds, and other freshwaters with abundant vegetation and basking sites.
• Diet: Omnivorous, their diet consists of aquatic plants, small fish, and invertebrates.
• Conservation Status: In its native range, Mauremys reevesii is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and over-collection, although in regions like the Comunidad Valenciana their impact on local ecosystems is closely monitored.

Reeves' turtles are often kept as pets, which can lead to their introduction in non-native regions. It is important to ensure their ethical treatment and to prevent their uncontrolled release into local ecosystems, which might disrupt native species.
