Species Information: The Cumberland slider, Trachymes scripta troostii, is a subspecies of pond slider, which remains easily obtained and highly sought after for the pet trade. These aquatic turtles are easily cared for if properly educated about there needs and requirements. When baby sliders are viewed, the adjectives that come to mind are usually “cute”, or “precious”. Indeed the slider is a beautiful aquatic turtle, with vibrant coloration, and an indispensable volume of character that is different from one specimen to another. Size and Sexing: When grown slider females can be expected to be significantly larger than males with carapace lengths expected to range from 5-12 inches (12.5-30 cm) when they reach maturity. Males usually have thicker tails, along with longer claws on the front feet. The cloaca on females is closer to the shell, males having a vent more than halfway toward the tail. The plastron (belly side of shell) is more concave with males, and more convex with females. This allows the female to hold more eggs.
