Answer 1

there are a bunch of turtles that can fit that description post a picture if you want more specific answers.

Answer 2

There are several kinds of sliders- you can find photos of many of them at http://www.austinsturtlepage.com and their World of Turtles gallery.

At the same site, you will find care sheets for the species.

As a general rule, sliders eat preyty much anything they can catch. IN the wild, they eat a lot of bugs, worms, shrimp, small crustaceans, snails, fish, etc. as well as leafy water plants.

In captivity, we can do a lot of that, and add some things like dark leafy greens, beef heat, and cooked chicken.

Eggs, red meat, and bananas would only be small, occasional treats.

Answer 3

To me it sounds like a yellow bellied slider but cannot be too sure with out seeing a picture,i have quite a few turtles myself and willing to give u advice if you would like, turtles arent the easiest of pets to keep if you know wat you are doing, make sure your turtles get a green food i.e cucumber etc they also like tomatoes, worms, i also buy frozen turtle food from the local pet shop to supplement their calcium for shell and bone structure
