How do you tell if you have a yellow belly slider turtle?
The upper shell is brown and black, often with yellow stripes. The skin is an olive green color with patches of yellow down the neck and legs. The bottom shell is mostly yellow with green spots along the edges. Adult males grow darker as they age. Yellow-bellied sliders are sometimes confused with Easter River Cooters, who also have yellow stripes on the neck and yellow under the sides, but they lack the olive green color of their skin.
You brought a turtle yellow bellied is it the same as a yellow bellied terrapin if not how can you tell the difference?
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.
