Hi everyone, just got 2 baby turtles 2 months ago, they've been doing great! One of them is a red ear slider (red eared slider? which is it?) and the other looks like, from what i've googled, a Mississippi map turtle.

This forum has helped a whole lot in prepping their tank and stuff! thanks everyone :)

I'm not sure how old mine are.... how do you tell? I got them as a gift and the people who gave them to me bought them at a pet store. I also dont know whether they're male or female - but from what I read here, I guess I have to wait until they grow bigger to tell?

Here is a picture of them - except I dont really know how to upload pictures... can you see them? they're really cute! :)
