Donald, did it have red coloring behind it's ear? My son rescued a red-ear slider from the pool yesterday, it's just a baby not bigger than 1 inch. We had raised a baby red-ear over 20 years ago, and it grew to look like your photo. We have a ditch behind our back yard and somehow it found its way to the side yard and we raised it in a plastic shoe box till it was in those big clear containers used for storage.
