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.
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!
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!
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
a boy (male) turtle has a longer tail than a girl (female)
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.
Key considerations for caring for a red-eared slider turtle pet include providing a proper habitat with a large enough tank, UVB lighting, a basking area, and clean water. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet of commercial turtle pellets, vegetables, and occasional treats like insects or fish is important. Regular tank cleanings, monitoring water quality, and providing opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation are also crucial for the well-being of a red-eared slider turtle.
this type of turtle is called a soft back turtle. it is about 3 to 5 inches long including tale and is usually kept as a pet. O.k that other person up there is wrong..This is a red bellied turtle.Or a mix of a red bellied turtle and a red eared slider..So there is the correct answer :D
