How do rings look on red ear sliders?
The top looks like this:

And the bottom looks like this:

Some may look different, though, as every turtle has its own uniquness.
Reply:The scutes are the bony plates that make up the shell (carapace). Try a web search for red-eared slider, especially for images. From the website: http://www.tortoise.org/archives/elegans...
"The typical hatchling red-ear has an attractive green carapace and skin. The carapace is finely patterned with yellow-green to dark green markings. As the turtles age, the general shell color changes. In young adults the basic green may be replaced by yellow, giving way eventually to a more somber drab olive. The shell is patterned with dark lines, streaks or smudges, sometimes with patches of white, yellow or even red."
