Large Red-Eared Slider

Hi,

We had some crazy rain a few days ago (10"+ in some places in less than a day) and so the bayou and lakes in the neighborhood were high. I caught a couple of smaller turtles in the bayou (all Red-Earned Sliders) but a few friends found this big boy on the road. Brought him over to the reptile kid in the neighborhood and I snapped some shots ;)

Thanks,

I love turtles faces! he's great!

Yeah he wouldn't let my hands near his face.

They're so funny, I can't get tired of them.

I cant see the nails but im sure its a female. Ive seen one girl that was HUGE, bigger than that one.

Yeah Matt still don't really know how to differentiate between the two sexes...

Short nails = Female

Long nails = Male

The females get HUGE too

I think theres a difference in size of tails as well. I just know male nails are sooo long.
