A Red-Eared Slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans) is held by a human hand in an outdoor setting within the City of Ketowan, Indonesia. The turtle, positioned centrally, displays a mottled carapace with shades of cream, light brown, and pale green scutes. Its head is extended from the shell, featuring distinct red patches posterior to each eye and green and black striped markings. The human hand, exhibiting a medium-dark skin tone, cradles the turtle from below, with fingers curled to support its body. The turtle's forelimbs are partially extended, showing striped patterns. The background is an unfocused natural environment, characterized by blurred green foliage interspersed with plants displaying dark purple or reddish-brown leaves, indicative of a garden or vegetated area under natural daylight.
