RES can have ears that range anywhere from almost yellow to orange to red. Nothing to worry about.

Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell.

There are yellow ear sliders and there also pastel RES. Pastels are very colorful but they have been manipulated during incubation. They aren't expected to live long and do cost premium.

My babies RES ears were light orange when I got them, but over the past few weeks they've started to get darker.
