I know NOTHING about turtles, but went to a Chinese food place that had a 55 gallon fish tank with WAY too many big Shubunkin gold fish and about 5-6 little baby turtles. They couldn't have been any longer than about 3 1/2 inches. The thing that bothered me was they had no dry "land" or a resting place to get out of the water on. I tried to voice my concerns to one of the employees there but the language barrier didn't help much and she didn't seem to get it. I did manage to find out she got them from New York somewhere. They had a small red mark next to their head and their body was pretty much olive green. I was thinking they were baby painted turtles, from what I've seen fishing but not sure. Also wondering if there are any legal issues to owning turtles this small? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I feel bad for the little guys.

Edit: Just did a google search and now thinking they are possibly Red Eared Sliders.
