Red-eared Slider

yes. And I have looked at the head patterns. A perfect match. Thank you cause I would not have looked at slider turtles. I had no clue what to search for on this one but you started it off.

I put a link on an ID showing what I found. It's possible. The link goes to one that might be a tad older but it is still a lighter shade of orange. It turns red when they become adults... or so it looks like in the various pics I have looked at.

Definitely a slider but the certain pattern on the head is different than the yellow bellied. The pattern on the head looks like a red eared slider. When they are young it appears light orange... or at least in the pictures I just looked at. Can't see it too well in these pictures but looks like the wide line on the side of the head behind the eye might be a different shade. A bit orange.
