I just got my 2 turtles and they have red spot things around the side of their face. Their shells are green and yellow with brown spots if you flip them back wards (you can pick him up and see you don't need to flip them over all the way to see the bottom) they also have webbed feet and claws on them and they're pretty young because they're small.
They are red-eared sliders. 1. Because of the red markings. 2. Because the webbed feet & claws (all turtles do but they are aquatic turtles, so they have webbed feet) 3. The spots on the bottom of the shell 4. The shell coloration If not, they are yellow-bellied, but I don 't think so because RES (Red eared sliders) Are more common, and yellow-bellied sliders don't have the red markings. I have had two RES's in the past, and I have a baby one now.
P.S.
RES are very demanding, and theres alot that you need to know about them, especially there habitats. They are very complex to care for, yet they are an amazing breed. Also, the most popular of all the turtle breeds. Hope it helped! (: Good luck with your new turtles!
Now that it has been established that you have Red Ear Sliders, I suggest you read this:

http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/ca ... A 10 gal tank is too small. You should get a 70 gal tank for them, but even this they will outgrow. As a general rule of thumb, you should have a tank of 10 gal capacity per inch of turtle. Thus 2 turtles of 5 "each=a 100 gal tank.
They are Red Eared Slider
