What kind of turtle do I have if it has paint on his belly and a green shell with different color green markings?

You can tell what type of turtle you have by the shell it has. Different types of turtles have different colors and patterns on their shells. Some even have different shapes of shells. Another way to tell what kind of turtle you have is through the environment it lives in. Some live in only water, others live on land.

If it is a water turtle (living in water) and not a tortoise (living on land), then it might be a Painted Turtle or Red-Eared Slider. These are very common in ponds, lakes, and creeks.
