Question

1. How many eggs does a red eared slider lay at a time?

2.How often do the females lay eggs?

3.how may females can you keep to one male? and will 2 males fight?

I was just wondering about this beacuse my friend has a male turtle she want to give to me. (mine is female)

Answer 1

1. A clutch will usually run 10-20 eggs

2. Once a year, early springish

3. Any combination is OK, as long as they have room. Figure on 10 gallons of water per inch of turtle, so 3 4" turtles would need a pond of about 120 gallons!

Answer 2

Red ear sliders are kinda considered the "stray dogs" of the turtle world. Because there are so many out there looking for homes, it's generally not a good idea to breed them. They don't make good pets for people who aren't dedicated because they do require a lot of space. Most people who get them don't take good care of them and if the turtle does manage to survive, they look for a place to "get rid of it" when it starts to grow large.

Any two turtles can fight, so if you have more than one, you always have to be prepared to separate them.

Answer 3

sounds desirable.. make particular u load it up with goldfish to consume and swim after for exercising.. u could get algea in the tank from being outdoors. I surely have 4 sliders. I surely have had for 32 ys.. get some barley and algea stuff to maintain the tank sparkling. I surely have a a hundred and fifty gal pond in my backyard from Sears...with a rock to sunlight them selves on and alot of swim room. your a good discern
