What cute little turtles!!!
We recently found these down by the lake. They are two tiny little Red-Eared Sliders, which are a common species around here. They really have some amazing colors and patterns, and we are pleased to be able to share these photos with you. Enjoy!

We really are adorable. We adopted one from a pet store many years ago. Sadly, recently it got ill and died. But your pictures brought back good memories. We have many turtles in the wild here in Minnesota too - mostly snapping turtles!
Looks identical to our Toby when he was a baby.
He never developed the red markings on the side of his head, which led us to realize that he is not a red eared slider, but a closely related species.
My husband found him literally beneath the tire of his tractor trailer, at a truck stop, so if he'd moved it even a couple of inches, Toby would have been a goner.
As it is, he's growing quickly, and he now has a buddy, different species but almost identical in size, and they are getting along nicely. No idea of gender for either of them as yet.
Perhaps a River Cooter? They look somewhat similar, but no "red ears"
