General Care Discussion :: Not sure if RES

[jordanwalker1531]

My email address is walkerja191 At potsdam.com Please email me and I will send you a picture of the turtle I am looking at rescuing. It looks somewhat like a painted turtle. They only live 20 years right?

Just go to imageshack.us and upload the picture there and then right click and copy image location and paste it here.

You should remove your email from the opening post as there are spammers and tools used on the internet by companies to find posted addresses and they then flood your inbox with spam or sell the info to other companies.

Also, read up on the main site (and then the forum) on information about RES.

Ok GREAT! I saw the red ears but it looked a bit painted. The ASPCA has it listed as painted. Thank you so much!!!

Lots of people confuse RES with painteds. I did the same thing at first, and it wasn't until I found more information through random internet searches that I figured out what turtles I have. (Mine might be hybrids with another type of slider, though).
