I agree with xsavingsaturdayx it looks like a venezuelan slider (Trachemys scripta chichiriviche).

I googled images for Trachemys scripta chichiriviche and they look the same. One site said they where rare now. http://ecoportal.tripod.com/extinction.htm scroll down to see it. the site has no info really though.

There does not seem to be much on it.

I wonder if it's some sort of res/map hybrid?

She IS a red ear slider, it's just that there are many red ear slider subspecies.

1 Chinese Box turtle ~ Chief Lemon
2 Redfoot Tortoises ~ Sheegua & Muugua

Where did you get her? I'd say Venezuelan slider, the shell patterns are different from the dorbignyi

My sister's classmate sent her.
But my sister doesn't wnat to take care of her since she knew how complicated that turtle care can be.

Her classmate said he bought a Hieroglyphics slider turtle(Pseudemys Concinna Hieroglyphic)
But I posted my turtle's pictures on Taiwan's turtle form, all members said she is a red ear slider.
I don't know if she is Venezuelan slider or trachemys scripta dorbignyi.
it's very hard to identify.
Does she has red ear slider blood?

I have said it before & I will say it again: I just LOVE your turtle Chuihui! She has wonderful facial expressions (especially in her eyes).

I'm afraid I can't help identify the subspecies of your turtle, but I have to comment on how gorgeous she is! Her expressions are the absolute BEST!! How big is she?

She looks very cute, but what happened to the edge of her shell? It looks like she's had some problem with it. You can really see it on the right side of the second big pic.

What a beautiful turtle. Who made her little "coat" with the flower on it? I showed it to my sister, and she went crazy. She wants one.
