Red Eared Sliders are nice turtles too, so you arent even allowed to have Painted Turtles? Or is a red eared slider a type of painted turtle?
I'm actually not sure if red eared sliders are a type of painted turtle or not, I know they are very similar. I'll have to show you pictures of my friend's snapper when she sends them to me. She him for a little while - she is a wildlife rehabber and saved the little guy. He was very cute too.
I can't wait to see how big yours will get!
