My dad and little sister just came home with a new turtle so I'd thought I'd show yall him.

Little baby sliders are so cute! I like how their shell darkens.
Just remember, in just a few years you'll have a few 10''+ turtles to house... while it's actually a bit of fun to have larger turtles, they're difficult to house and keep clean!

I'm ready for them to be large! In about three years when I graduate high school my family is going to be moving out of the city and moving out into the country so hopefully I can make them a nice pond! My red eared slider are getting real big! They're both about 6 inches.

I'm also hoping both of the babies are females so I can keep them together, I know they get larger but I've read that males get real aggressive towards each other.

That'll be great
Ponds are the best for sliders... I'm long overdue
Just wait, one day you'll wake up an swear they grew a inch overnight! I wish I could have seen mine from baby to adult

I don't know. When all three of mine were together, they had no issues
But I think in general, girly torts/turtles are nicer to each other than males.
What are the 6'' guys?

I have one male and one female

I haven't had aquatics for quite a while, but that baby looks like a false map or a yellow bellied slider, not a RES....
I don't ID well, but I keep doing it....

He is a baby yellow bellied slider, we were talking about my other two red eared sliders.

You did do well identifying him though!
