I thought it was a RES...

Question
I just bought a turtle, and paid for a Rotbauch Schmuckschildkrote (German, as I live in Germany right now) I tried to translate this and the closest I could come up with was Red Ear Slider (it actually literally means 'Red Bulge Out SmartTurtle') The only problem is it doesn't have red ears... I can take a picture if that would help me identify it.

I should have done more research before I bought it, but I bought everything I need right there, and he (or she) had the best coloring I've ever seen on a turtle shell...

I'm thinking that maybe the red at the ears maybe appears as it grows? It's a tiny thing as there's no 4" law here in Deutschland... please help me identify it, I'd rather not walk back into the pet store with it and ask what exactly I bought, lol...

Answer
Actually, it is the Floridian Red-belly cooter. Cooters are related to the sliders and have similar care, but are not generally as attractive as adults.

By the way, my translation is 'red belly jewel turtle', whcih makes sense for this species.
