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.

How do you know the sex of your red eared slider?
Female turtles have what is called a convex belly, which means that it slightly curves outwards, to make room for her eggs. They can also have a flat belly, which means that they don't have any eggs to store yet. Male turtles have a concave belly, which means that it will be slightly indented. A good way to remember this: concave means indented like a cave! To work out the gender of your turtle, simply feel it's belly. If you can't tell by doing this, you can pick up the turtle and look at it side on. If you can't work out what the gender is for some reason, take the turtle to a local pet store or breeder, and they will be able to give you their expert's opinion!

Research. If you found the turtle your local library should have books of animals that are common in your area. You can call your local pet shop and ask them if they have someone who is knowledgable about turtles. If so, ask them if you can bring your turtle and have them look at it. If you can't transport it try a picture. ______________________________________________________________________ look at it, if it has a trait like red ears, then search "red ear turtle" on Google. they will have pictures, if the picture shows your turtle, then they will probably have the actual name. 12 year old turtle expert, Kris ______________________________________________________________________ Google some images or just send me a pic im good at this stuff
