2 questions ....
do they fall into the category of turtle or terrapin ?

one seems too have orange/red colouring behind its ears therefore s it a ybs ? its shell is slightly darker than the other onewhich is a brighter yellow

You'd better post a pics. If red/light red, they should be red eared slider. if orange, could be mix breed with RES/YBS or some breed else.

BTW, the YBS should have pure yellow ear (if with enough sunshine basking and eating shrimp/prawn as diet, the colour will turn very slightly orange, ; and the figure and position of YBS's "ear" is different with RES.

So according to your desription, I think it could be a red eared slider.
