Abstract
The red-eared slider is a medium-sized turtle with olive to brown skin and carapace, and yellow stripes or spots. The distinguishing feature is the red patch, or line, on each side of its head. Adult males have longer and thicker tails and longer claws than females. Turtles lay eggs that are ovoid in shape and about 1.5 inches in length and 1 inch wide. Green coloration of the carapace is much brighter in juveniles.
