they just have a red belly
they look really cut
A slider turtle is basically like a category of turtles including the Yellow Belly Slider Turtle and the Red Eared Slider turtle.
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!
The Red Eared Slider is the most common kind of pet turtle, so I'm guessing that the Red Eared Slider is the best kind of turtle for a pet. People do seem to like it!
It sounds like a red eared slider
A Painted Turtle can only "procreate" (have young) with another Painted Turtle but they have been known to "mate" (have sex) with Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Belly Sliders. They probably wouldn't try to mate with any other kind of turtle, other than a similar species of water turtle like maybe a Map Turtle. For instance, a painted Turtle probably would not try to mate with a Soft Shell Turtle or a Snapping Turtle (or any land turtle like a Box Turtle) because they would not recognize it as a possible mate. When a Painted Turtle tries to mate with a Slider, it is because its instincts are telling it that based on size, shape, and mating displays and behaviors, etc., it is another Painted Turtle. Interestingly, Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Bellied Sliders rages currently overlap and where they do there is a lot of unsuccessful mating going on between the two species but they cannot procreate. That is part of the "definition" of a separate species.
you can buy a cuttle bone at the pet store (they are designed for birds) and float it in the tank for the turtle to knaw on. This is cheap, like a dollar or two.
they look mostly yellow and have black dots here and there
Do you mean black claws or back claws? Well, the answer is yes, to both. Their claws are blackish-looking on the inside (although on the outside they are translucent like human fingernails), and yes, female red-eared sliders have both front and back claws, just like the males. The difference is that the claws of the male are usually much longer.
a boy (male) turtle has a longer tail than a girl (female)
Mostly the male stinkpot turtle would probably be much smaller then the female stinkpot just like in frogs the male is smaller than the female turle
Actually, nobody really knows which one is better:a red eared or a snake neck turtle. But they do have opinions. Somebody can say that a red eared turtle is better than a snake neck turtle and somebody else might say tha a snake neck turtle is better than a red eeared turtle. We have different thoughts and opinions. I hope this helped. If you need any more advice on turtles, feel free to email me and I will send you one back quickly. My email is: kate216@hanmail.net
