Sherrie S on Nov 19, 2015When I saw the Red bellied slider it sure looked like my turtle but I noted it was kind of orange/red and my turtle yellow. DUH. I do believe both @Bonny and @d fuhrman are correct. Thank you so much for your help.Helpful Reply

Sherrie Slaboda on Nov 19, 2015@Diane someone identified the pic below as a Box Turtle. So I still think the one I posted today is the yellow bellied slider. But thank you for posting.Helpful Reply

Sherrie Slaboda on Nov 19, 2015@Victoria Howard I don't know what a plastron is. I also realize I need to take more and better pictures so they can be properly identified. I think I'm close to the answer. Thank you.Helpful Reply

Sherrie Slaboda on Nov 19, 2015@Victoria Howard I only saw the turtle that day & took two pics so I can't add anymore to this post. I did learn that I need to get more pics in the future and I will do so. I know I have had Box Turtles that were easily identified. I really enjoy visiting Hometalk because I learn so much.Helpful Reply
