Summary:Despite the fact that the pond turtle has been the subject of various researches for the last few decades, we still do not have a complete picture of these reptiles distribution in Serbia. Precisely because of the lack of data, at the national level, the pond turtle has the status DD (Data Deficient). Based on literature data, it can be concluded that the pond turtle inhabits most of Serbia and that it prefers aquatic ecosystems and lower altitudes. In this paper, a new locality for the pond turtle in the Central Serbia has been presented.
