Hello Aquarium community !
My name is Griffin. I'm from the Philippines. I recently keeping turtles in aquarium and researching how to care them. The first thing I'd learned from my research was to know first what the species I'm keeping. I have 3 red ear sliders and adopted 1 turtle that was found in a deserted cooling water pool. This turtle skin and shell color is different from the red ear slider. Its eyes is not very convex as the slider do. But it likes to swim in the water just like the slider. I have attached pictures. Can anyone tell me what my turtle species is ?

It looks to be a River Cooter of some sort. I'm not 100% sure however. The people on this forum [Only Registered Users Can See Links.] will be able to tell you for sure so you can give him the proper care. Good Luck!
