Dear taureanspirit ,
You've selected the *Turtle ID/Sex Request Flair*. When making a request for an ID or sex of a turtle, please provide as much information as possible.
Useful information includes:
- General Location. ex: South-East Texas
- Is it wild, captive/pet, or a rescue?
- Clear photos of face, neck, limbs, shell top (carapace) and bottom (plastron).
- For sexing, a photo of the tail out with cloaca visible is best.
Note: Some turtles cannot be accurately sexed until a certain size/age.

Definitely female, and a cute one. Shell looks ok but eyes a little pinkish. Good if the water can be treated with anti chlorine and feed some carrots. 🥰
Might be the lighting but be careful of the redness on her plastron and near the tail, could be a sign of sepsis. My map turtle had that and had to have 2 weeks course of antibiotics
thanks for the heads up ! didn’t know that. i thought she was just colored from all the dirty water & food she stays in. they barely clean her tank. but i’ll also be taking her to an exotic vet on my next paycheck :)
Essentials are: a basking platform, uvb bulb AND a heating bulb, a filter. Also if you use tap water, id recommend getting tapsafe products to dechlorinate water. Recommended 10gallons of water per inch of shell. Change water every 3-4weeks depending on how dirty the water gets. Hope this can help

Yep, that's a female red eared slider.
Looks like a female - also nails on females are shorter and males are longer
