Turtle

great picture!!

This is a Trachemys venusta or the Belize/Meso American Slider. They can get up to a foot long in shell length. I have a close, Central American, relative to this species at home, a Nicaraguan Slider Trachemys emolli.

Lovely shots.

It appears they are being sold as pets online. They seem to be a fancier version for sale where the patterns are more pronounced. Beautiful turtle. You might find information under the following as well: Trachemys scripta venusta

Ook. Now I see what you mean. Thinking painted turtle, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what type exactly.

On a second look, the red spots should've shown already so its not a RES. The other two pics won't load for me so I can't tell from just the head shot.

They look like older turtles. Did they have red markings on their ears? There's some other related species that lack the markings

If it has/d red markings where his neck is scooched in, it'd be a Red-eared slider
