Both names refer to the same animal. In America terrapins, tortoises and turtles are all referred to as turtles. This has caused some confusion in the hobby and some pet/reptile shops here in the UK also call terrapins turtles.
The peninsular cooter (also a terrapin) looks almost identical to the yellow bellied terrapin.
Hope this helps.
