Yes, a yellow-bellied slider can live in tap water, but it's important to treat the water properly first. Tap water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that can be harmful to turtles. It's advisable to use a water conditioner to remove these harmful substances, or to let the water sit for 24 hours before introducing the turtle. Additionally, maintaining the proper temperature and filtration is crucial for their health.
