[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am not very sure of the identification of this Species. Anybody can help me and Thank you in advance.
I was strolling in Botanical Garden in Singapore and two kids were playing with this sweet little Turtles. I managed to take few shots before it was sent inside the water. I like the color of the turtles and Beautiful markings on the face and neck.
I used my old beauty TOKINA ATX -100-300mm. auto expo, Hand held.

You have 2 different species the one on top is possibly the Cumberland Slider(
Trachemys scripta troosti) This one looks very similiar to a Red Eared Slider noticable difference is missing red stripe on side of head. It could also possibly be a hybrid, a mix of two different species.

The big one on the bottom is the Chinese Striped-Neck or Golden Thread Turtle (Ocadia sinensis).

Anyway nice double decker turtle sandwich. :)
