I describe terrestrial foraging behavior in Trachemys scripta elegans (Red-eared Slider) and Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii (Mississippi Map Turtle), two species of semiaquatic turtles. I observed specimens of Red-eared Slider on two occasions in two different locations climbing onto the bank of a stream and consuming grass blades (Luziola fluitans [Southern Watergrass] and Eragrostis hypnoides [Teal Lovegrass]), which were swallowed when the turtles returned to the water. These observations included both adult males and females. In addition, I observed on one occasion two juvenile Mississippi Map Turtles leave the water and forage on plants on a stream bank also used by Red-eared Sliders. Individuals of Mississippi Map Turtles passed by grass and consumed the sprouts of a dicot (Ludwigia decurrens [Wingleaf Waterprimrose] and/or Pentodon pentandrus [Hale s Pentodon]).
