If you have a male red ear slider, he will get to be around 8 inches (males have really long claws and tails)
Females will be around 12 inches long (have really short claws and tails)
When measuring how big the turtles will get you only measure the shell from the head of the turtle to the tail of the turtle. So these measurements does not include head and tail.
www.redearslider.com is a great place to go for more information.

even as vacationing in ny city, my attractive lady friend picked me up 2 of those small pink ear sliders in China city. They stay in a 20 gallon intense fishtank. there is an undergravel filter out, an air stone, and small caves on one fringe of the tank. The gravel is sloped from the right part from 4 inches deep to round 3 quarters on the left. The undergravel filter out has in ordinary words one placed up on the a procedures acceptable of the tank. we stay close to the Connecticut River and went there to locate driftwood and river plants. there is no longer something plastic contained in the tank except for the flaws necessary to create the perfect ecosystem. The turtles like it warmth. Our fishtank has a 40 watt heater and remains at 80 2 degrees. there is also a wide plant that we bought on the puppy keep. those 2 turtles are very pleased. dealing with them ought to no longer be sensible, yet no reason to worry. purely make efficient you wash your fingers properly once you manage them. no individual is authorized to placed their fingers in this fishtank except an experienced individual. they might want to devour turtle nutrients or reptile nutrients from the fish keep. regardless of the indisputable fact that, maximum turtles will devour fish. Our tank is a fishtank complete of water. The turtles want someplace to get dry once in a lengthy time period, so that they climb on the driftwood yet for the most section they spend a lot of their time submerged chasing(we purely had children) toddler fish. that is extremely neat to visual show unit. There are about 20 tiny orange fish about a million/4 inch lengthy. The turtles are about a million 3/8 of an inch in the course of. they do no longer shed. they could no longer be able to capture a minnow fish, yet you could injure the fish slightly. likely no longer a strong theory to color their shell. they could't comprehend faces. in the adventure that they do no longer worry you they could imagine you're nutrients and ought to attempt to chew you. they're extremely sensible, yet no longer in a human sense, they're very instinctual. they could upward push as a lot as 4 or 5 inches in the course of, yet received't outgrow the tank, which signifies that they received't develop a lot more suitable than they could of their ecosystem.
