My husband found a juvenile turle (about the size of a quarter) on our drive way on June 12th. We are pretty sure it is a RES as it has the typical red markings by the ears. However, the shell is more brownish red, different from a typical RES's shell. Can anyone help us identify or confirm what kind of turtle it is? (Sorry if the pictures aren't super clear.)
Also, since we found him, he has had no interest in eating. Is this ok? It's been a week and 3 days. Thanks!
P.S. I have a painted I found a little over a year ago about the same size but started eating right away.

Here are larger images...I hope!

The RES's shell is red because it is stained with iron ore from the environment. That will go away in time. Especially after the annual lamina shed. I'd keep him in a smaller container and offer him chopped earthworms or chopped small minnows to start. Then get him on the prepared foods. Then move him to the larger tank.
It's not unheard of for a turtle the size of the Painted Turtle to accidentally injure or kill a small one like him at feeding time.

Thank you so much for your advice. Coincidentally, I caught the larger one with the smaller one's foot in his mouth, swinging him aroung in the feeding tub this evening. I was so upset!! Do you think they are ok to be in the tank together where they only swim and bask? I usually feed them in the tub so I can get a separate feeding tub for the little one. Thanks!
