This little guy was walking along a DeKorte trail last week until somebody dropped the dime on him (figuratively speaking), and we took his picture.
We think it is a Red-eared Slider.
If you hold up a real dime, you’ll see how small this very young reptile really is.
(Thanks to Sue Lewicki of the MEC for letting us know about the tiny tot turtle!)
Wow! Good thing someone didn’t step on it.
I’m not an expert, but my neighbor had a Red-Eared Slider for a long time, and I always thought they had the red stripe from when they hatched, so maybe this one is a little Painted Turtle? Like I said I don’t know much about turtles though.
We wavered between painted turtle and red-eared slider.
I think the answer is:
C. One of the above.
I really needed to photograph a side view… Live and learn, hopefully.

I was searching around and found a page that’s conveniently has all photos of baby turtles, maybe this will help? http://www.fishpondinfo.com/turtles/babyphoto.htm#res
