They are basically the same thing but yellow bellied sliders are more commonly said as the name of the turtle. Yes they are the same. Look it up, y do want to know, it doesn't make a difference, of how you say it they are the same thing.
no they are two different species
If the habitat is large enough, they can live with other turtles of about the same size.
I don't think there is such a thing as a yellow eared slider. Try looking up yellow bellied sliders. That's probably what you're looking for.
Hi there!! Yellow bellied turtles usually mate when about 2-5 years old. If your turtles arnt mating its probably because their 1. Sick 2. same sex 3.just dont feel to I hope that this answer helps you!
Both names refer to the same animal. In America terrapins, tortoises and turtles are all referred to as turtles. This has caused some confusion in the hobby and some pet/reptile shops here in the UK also call terrapins turtles. The peninsular cooter (also a terrapin) looks almost identical to the yellow bellied terrapin. Hope this helps.
Actually, nobody really knows which one is better:a red eared or a snake neck turtle. But they do have opinions. Somebody can say that a red eared turtle is better than a snake neck turtle and somebody else might say tha a snake neck turtle is better than a red eeared turtle. We have different thoughts and opinions. I hope this helped. If you need any more advice on turtles, feel free to email me and I will send you one back quickly. My email is: kate216@hanmail.net
Yes. Trachemys (Slider) x Graptemys (Map turtle) hybrids are rare, but they exist along with other cross-genus hybrids such as fully fertile Map hybrids with Diamondback Terrapins.
Ghost Red Eared Slider Turtles will get to be the same size as normal Red Eared Slider Turtles, which is 10-12 inches.
lethargy, not wanting to eat, floats/swims lopsided (this can be due to a collapsed or laboring lung), etc. i'm dealing with the same issue at this moment. good luck.
Yes, they can. A local science museum has about three of each in a tank. They eat the same things (worms and others), and other than fighting over the worms, they basically ignore each other. Also my turtles don't bother each other they just sometimes look at each other and chase each other around, but my RES is bigger then my yellow bellied so she does this thing with her nails to tell him that shes the boss!! ;) Bugzly12- hope this helps!
It means you have Hardwater, i had the same problem with my yellow belly when i first got him and your local pet store should sell RO Water which is softwater, if not just simply buy a RO System and fill your tank with the softwater, he's now 2 and a half years old with a perfect shell.
probably not. they have different kind of food and they might get mixed up
