"Unfortunately, you can not tell the age of a turtle by it's size. Turtles grow depending on how big their environment is."

Actually, no. A red eared slider does NOT grow to their environment. If you feed it, it will grow. If not it will, obviously not grow then die. But there is no way to tell how old a RES is unless you hatched it or know who hatched it. It does not matter how big it is. Some owners over feed or under feed their turtles so there is no way determining it by size either.

Red-eared turtles usually grow 1 to 1 1/2 inches a year. so your turtle is probably around 6 years of age.
