There is no such thing as a red eye slider, maybe you were trying to say redeared slider. (the red is not on it's eye, it is on it's ears) Common mistake. Check this website out. It tells you alot of things about the red eared slider. http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/caresheet-red_ear_slider.htm
if your turtle is a male you will see a bump on either side of its tail. if its a female its more likely to be aggressive and will only have a slight bump on either side of it's tail.

A yellow-bellied slider's shell can harden as it matures, typically becoming more rigid around 3 to 5 years of age. During this time, the turtle's carapace (upper shell) undergoes growth and calcification, resulting in a harder shell. Proper diet, hydration, and environmental conditions play crucial roles in this process. It's important to provide adequate UVB lighting and a calcium-rich diet to support healthy shell development.
