Answer 1

Most likely, red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans. Definitely not a yellow-bellied slider, a different subspecies.

Answer 2

Doesn't matter what anyone else says, these are red eared sliders without the bright red coloring, therefore they are not healthy.. Don't get one, you'll regret it.. They are so high maintenance!

Answer 3

Hey i believe the correct scientific name for this turtle is YoMommyous or also know as Your Mom in plain English. Give me the turtle so I can make turtle soup out of him >:D

Answer 4

those look like painted turtles cause they dont have the red stripes or the yellow but their shells and heads are the colors of the painted turtles...

Answer 5

red eared slider.



thanks for letting me answer, you got me to level 2!!!

Answer 6
