Other Turtle Discussion :: Red Ear Slider or Cumberland?

Need to identify this little guy, please help

Do you have pics of the plastron? Very cool pattern on the head.

Plastron are normal just like the red ear sliders, nothing special. Except that it's more yellow-ish. Haha yeah I agree

[steve]

If there is a lack of patterns on the plastron, I would lean towards Cumberland. RES hatchlings have very nice designs on there.

There's no lack of patterns on the plastron though o_o could it be an intergrade ?

[steve]

Intergrade is a possibility, depending on where they turtle came from.

This is more or less typical of RES:

A normal res compared to him

His plastron is slightly more yellowish, that's him sticking his head out.

[steve]

I'd go with cumberland then... perhaps an intergrade.

Do cumberlands have any other special features other than yellow ear ?

[steve]

Same care as other sliders.

Alright, then I shall just assume they are cumberlands! Thanks Steve!

My turtle looks a lot like yours!

Except his plastron looks different.

And his his yellow "ear" stripes have a very slight orange tint to them.

[TurtlesOwner97]

Yours is very cool!! I'm guessing it's an intergrade of ybs with res! I used to have one but it died of RI.
