Do you mean black claws or back claws? Well, the answer is yes, to both.

The difference is that the claws of the male are usually much longer.

Why won't my baby red eared slider eat?
AnswerDo you have a heat lamp for the turtle? See the Related Question below.AnswerMy baby turtle has the same problem but I'll tell you what I know... Red eared sliders can only eat in water, and they wont eat if its too cold or if your watching him/her. also try giving him/her different foods and try to see if he/she will eat that. also if it is a new turtle then wait a few day until it is used to its surrondings. and baby red eared sliders like meat alot more then anything else so try and give cooked salmon or cooked meat. I hope that your turtle eats!Another Answer:Red Eared Slider turtles eat MEAT when babies, make sure they are at home and comfy and not spazzing out, then slip a small piece of chicken in their tank. It will sink, but they should find it. Also, when Red Eared Sliders are babies, the water cannot go above their heads if they are on their back legs. Their heads need to poke out.

Can a pet red-eared slider be released legally back to its natural habitat in any way or are there at least organizations that my adopt mine for a more suitable outdoor habitat?
RES should not be released. They are an invasive species to anywhere you release it. I recommend taking it to anywhere that will take your turtle, be it a reptile rescue or a normal shelter, or trying to get a responsible friend to take your animal.
