Hello everyone!

We were born in Antigua four days ago and our names are Amy and Ninja (although we are not quite sue what sex we are!) We have small yellow designs on our shells and red spots on our legs.
We also have a little bit of red on our heads.

We were told we are Land turtles but our mum wants to know more about us. Can you help us please?
Thank you Amy & Ninja

Thats cute! Smile

Do they have webbed feet? If they do they are semi aquatic. Red eared sliders have red stripes on their head, but I don\'t know about the legs. Here are some sights to look at that might help you determine what they are.

Hope that helps out a little. Smile
