Hello, I'd like to ask for a specification on my turtle's breed and age so I can provide him with the best care. It looks like a map turtle, considering the plastron markings, but I am not sure about its exact breed. I'd also like to ask about its age since I can't pinpoint it. the carapace width is between 3 and 4 cm (1 and 1.5in). Thank you in advance.

Thanks for reaching out about Franklin and including photos. This appears to be a yellow bellied slider, probably a male (long tail) and very young (under 1 year). Most hatch in spring but if captively bred, environmental conditions can be manipulated. Good luck.
