I was given two small turtles, below are the best pics I've gotten so far. Looking closer I noticed that the colored area extending from the eye towards the shell is actually orange, not yellow as it shows in the photo.

Thanks Very Happy

the first one is 100% a RES (red-eared slider) but the 2nd one doesn't have the "red ears" so well it might be one as well and by time the markings will start showing. did u collect enough info about them?

good luck with the little guys, they're so adorable Very Happy

Thanks for the replies!

I believe they're both the same, they're still a bit shy and I have a hard time getting good photos of them.

I've done a lot of reading since they were given to me and I'm very glad to have found this site Very Happy

yea the one with more yellow ears is still a RES. the ears will turn more red as it grows.
