are these both red eared sliders??

[jason g.]

I was given these 2 baby turtles. A person at my work had gotten there kids a couple turtles. They heard they contracted samanila and gave them to me. They are about the size of a quarter. Lil bigger. Lol

I'm not real good at I.D.ing water turtles, however, I don't believe either one of those is a red ear.

 

[jason g.]

Really that's cool!! Any ideas what kind they are. Can you believe someone was gonna flush those cuties. not if I'm within ear shot. Lol

Looks to me like you have one red ear slider and one yellow belly slider.
Could you post a photo of their plastron?

 

[jason g.]

Sure can give me a sec to take some pics

 

[EricIvins]

Red Ear or Integrade on top, Yellowbelly on the bottom from what I can see. You would need Plastron shot to give a better idea of what you have......

 

[jason g.]

There's ying....

And here's yang!! Lol

 

[pam]

Love the names Ying and Yang

Love the names Ying and Yang

Lol I named them lynard and skynard my daughter said I don't think so its ying and yang or peanut butter and jelly. Lol we went with ying and yang cause one was dark and one was light. Lol

 

[jason g.]

Are those of the plastron good enough?its kinda weird having these little guys after having my African sulcata. Lol easier to care for that's for sure!!?

 

[srod]

Still looks like 1 red ear and 1 yellow belly to me.

 

[jason g.]

Thanks guys. I'm assumeing care and feeding is the same for all sliders.

 

[srod]

Yup! Pretty much

 

[biochemnerd808]

Oh my goodness, they are so tiny and cute!

 

[lori12386]

Yep..one Red Ear and One Yellow Belly!

Don't be fooled by the patch of red on the first tortoise's neck. There are other water turtles that have that red mark. This turtle just doesn't have the patterning on the carapace that red ears have. He's either NOT a red ear, or he's some sort of hybrid.

That is not true at all......Pattern or color really doesn't define a Red Ear Slider in the least.......Plastron and marginal markings do......

By this logic, all the Pastel Red Ears in captivity are not Red Eared Sliders, which they most certainly are.......This animal may also be a Cumberlund Slider, but that isn't too far removed from a Red Ear seeing that Cumberlund Sliders are basically relic Red Ear Integrades to begin with.......

Looks more like a Rio Grande Slider, to me.
