‘Rio Grande’ slider (a type of RES)?

hello guys

i read up the ‘Rio Grande’ slider and it seems they are a type of RES but a population from Rio Grande river rather than normal green RES.

anyone see them in LFS before? thanks

HI bros, interesting qn u got there. Rio grandes are considered high colored res... with more yellows on their carapace.. even as adult specimens

ya they are much more attractive than normal green RES.

i actually do think/see some of them do come in together with normal RES.

or perhaps i am cock eye...lolx
