Red Eared - Yellow Bellied mix

Question
I currently own a red eared slider and a yellow bellied slider. I know these two are capable of breeding, but i have no clue what the offspring would look like. can you tell or show me what the hatchlings would be like?

Answer
Generally, 1/4th to 1/2 of them will look like one parent, the  rest will look like the other- nothing too special.

Know, however, that these turtles rarely breed in captivity without a very special breeding set-up that gave them th right habitat and a beach.
