eastern painted water turtles???????????

[jujubean_38]

I like 'cuddles's answer. Here's what I did:
I looked up pictures of:
Eastern Painted Turtle: http://www.turtleshelltortue.org/images/identification_eastern_painted.jpg
Red Eared Slider: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Trachemys_scripta_elegans_-_Rotwangen-Schmuckschildkr%C3%B6te_-_Red-eared_slider.jpg/800px-Trachemys_scripta_elegans_-_Rotwangen-Schmuckschildkr%C3%B6te_-_Red-eared_slider.jpg
Yellow Eared Slider: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/834/20097134.JPG

Now see which one of these pictures looks most like the turtle you see.

I own an Eastern Painted Turtle! I love him to death-his name is Bobby!
But remember, don't get a pet turtle from the wild. Go buy one at a petstore or a breeder!!
Good Luck!
