Seems to be female judging by the short tail and short claws. Are you sure that it is a RES? If it is I've never seen the yellow that bright and the shell seems a little dark.

I diden't think i was but the people told me it was on the turtle what is this site. Here is a pic of it without the butt.

That turtle is a RES. It's just has a diffrent color form the ones I've seen or had. That is the same turtle in all the pics right?

I belive so, but it could be the other one. But they are the same kind so yeah. Its hard to tell them apart. I now belive one is a m and the other one is a f. Never seen any mating though.

In that pic, the turtle above the RES looks like a painted from the plastron and the front foot. Do you have any pics of that one?
