"Quick Guide to Red Eared Sliders as Pets
Red eared sliders are semi aquatic turtles that are very commonly kept as pets. Unfortunately, lack of understanding what they require means that many red eared sliders have died from improper care. While they are not overly demanding as pets, many unsuspecting owners have been told that it was fine to keep them in small plastic bowls. Needless to say this housing is completely inadequate and impractical - turtle owners need to invest a fair amount in the proper equipment to house red eared sliders. With proper care these turtles can live several decades, so turtle ownership is not a commitment to be taken lightly.

A full grown red eared slider can reach 12 inches in length (measured as the carapace, or top shell, length). Males tend to be smaller than females, but have large claws on the front legs and longer tails than females.

In the US, sale of red eared sliders under 4 inches in length have been banned since the 1970s. The ban was a result of the prevalence of Salmonella infections linked to pet turtles. Baby turtles were very popular as pets for small children, mostly because a lot of people did not realize the cute tiny turtles sold in pet stores could carry Salmonella or that they could grow so large.

Answer 3

They are Red ear sliders.......you need to have them in an aquarium where they can totally be submerged in water however they also need a spot where they can get completely out of the water and completely dry off with a heat lamp. We just got one and I have invested a lot of money for set up....I was clueless when I agreed to take her. There are alot of good websites out there with good info. I didn't think I would like having her around but she is alot of fun to watch especially when she knows she's about to be fed.
