What kind of turtle do I have?

Answer by  Nancy89 (50)

The red eared slider has been already mentioned but I thought you might like a description. They tend to be the most popular turtle for pets. They sometimes breed with the yellow eared slider which will cause red stripes down the side. They have short sharp nails if that helps.

You could have a yellow faced turtle but that depends on where you live. This particular turtle can be found in Australia and New Guinea. The head strip is a pale yellow, the eye has no spots in it and the iris is a bright yellow with a black pupil.

You have a yellow-headed side-neck turtle o a red-eared slider. It is endangered and vulnerable so be careful! But they are a popular kind of water turtle. They are very fast and swim well so unless they trust you they may run if you approach them at all.
