sp25 #4 This is a baby Red Ear Slider that didn't make it along with turtle egg (the egg is a hatched egg so it will have cracks and is filled with plaster so it will keep its shape). The turtle is approx. 1 3/8 x 1 1/8 x 1/2", the egg is 1 3/8 x 1". He is a beautiful little guy and a great piece for a classroom, crafting or a collection. We have added eyes to the specimen. This would be a great addition to any collection or a great starter piece!
