It could be for the simple reason of species recognition. It is a distinct marking that distinguishes this breed of turtle from any other species, when it is most important -- such as during mating.

It may be because it's sick or have an illness. I don't take care of a red eared slider but I do take care of a baby red belly turtle. However I know a lot about red eared sliders because I have gathered information through many books about turtles. Check on your turtle's condition. If you think that it's rather weary looking, there is a high possibility that it is sick.
