A small Red-eared slider turtle is held upright in the palm of an individual's hand

A small Red-eared slider turtle is held upright in the palm of an individual's hand. The turtle's carapace exhibits a textured pattern of muted green, brown, and yellowish-cream scutes. Its head is extended, displaying a distinct red stripe behind each eye, and its skin is marked with fine green and yellow stripes. Partially visible limbs are extended from beneath the shell. The human hand, shown from the palm side, has a medium to dark skin tone and supports the turtle with fingers gently curled. The background is an out-of-focus, light brown-grey surface, consistent with an outdoor ground surface, possibly dirt or concrete. The scene is located in Ketowan, Indonesia.
