Emerald and Laney, Turtles Two...
Hello, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your turtles with us. One of my first pets when I was young (that was VERY long ago. I turned sixty in February this year) was a turtle, a red-eared slider like yours. I named it "Terry", although I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. Since I was a little boy, I just assumed my turtle was a boy turtle, too.
There is a way you can tell if you have a boy turtle or not, and I think this goes for all turtles: the male turtle has long front claws, quite a bit longer than the female.
Well, I'll let you go now. Take care of yourself. I feel sure you always do your best in school. I wish I had done the same but I didn't. I just didn't do as well as I could have.
May the Lord bless and keep you and your family always.
My love to all in Jesus, my Savior,
