It may actually be a red eared slider, they were the most common baby turtles sold back then. Here is a story about one that is 58 www.reptileforums.net - Oldest Dime Store Turtle

Funny, I was reading about toads the other day, and I found out that the longest known one in captivity lived 36(!!!) years, and was killed accidentally, so who knows how much more it could've gone?
I remember thinking exactly the same thing you did about the turtle!

Re: Baby turtle update

mature males have the long claws, not females. males also have a big THICK tail at the base, females have a skinny one. You can't really tell as babyies though

Re: Baby turtle update

They big claws are on the FRONT legs of the male.. used for 'tickling' during mating.... I might grow mine.
