No they need sun to survive because there shell and scine will get MST
it could survive overnight , but not for longer .they need water for survival its their habitat
They need to have access to a place to get out of water as they wish, regardless the amount of time.
Cheek it water it needs to be warm.
I suppose you can but any benefit no. Get different water plants
no RES turtles are fresh water turtles
no,slider turtles have fixed tongues but no saliva for that reason they must eat inside water

Yes, I put my baby slider in a sand filled terrarium over night and feed him in water and he is doing ok
They should have access to a source of water as well as a place to get out of the water at all times.
yes it can i know cuz i have two and my bro wakes up early in morning and it sleeps uderwater
I have a central American wood turtle aswell. beautiful shell colors , huh? well no, because the red ear-slider turtle is more of an aqautic turtle whilst the central American orante wood turtle is more land-but still needs some water. not above 3" of water for the central American, and the red eared slider can live in up to 5 feet of water. the central American wood turtle should not be placed in deep water as it will drown.
It won't harm the turtle - but the eggs should be removed from the water as soon as possible.
A lot of water; 10 gallons of water per 1 inch of shell. So if the turtle is 8" long it should have at least 80 gallons of water.
They can sleep under water because they can hold their breath for a very long time.
