Yes - provided they will encounter the same temperature range as if they were in their native country. Additionally the enclosure should be animal-proofed against possible predators (local cats, dogs etc) I recently had to treat a neighbours injured slider that she kept in an outside pond. She wrongly assumed it would be safe to leave it unattended in her pond. It ended up being attacked by a cat, and now has one foot missing and a cracked shell !
Of course it can, I actually prefer it. Although they can adapt to a glass tank you put them in, they'd probably do better in a semi-type habitat. Make sure they have plenty of food though, and watch out for any large pets you may have around the house such as a cat or dog. I'd look up different plantation that you can provide for this turtle so they at least feel more comfortable with their surrounding. Alos, not many people do this although they should, but get another Red Ear so that they can at least bond and/or mate, just imagine a pond full of tiny turtles, it'd be sick.
Yes a turtle can survive in an outside pond in winter.
Yes they can live in a pond but I don't think you should keep your red ear slider in a pond in winter or fall
If you have a heater in the pond, otherwise they'll freeze to death. They need something like 25c water temperature.

Yes, pond hyacinth is fine. Turtles can eat that plant.
Most turtles found in freshwater ponds that are yellow and green are called red eared sliders. In their younger years they have yellow in them but as they age they begin to lose their color. The red eared slider has a red streak behind its eyes as well...It could also be a yellow eared slider as well which doesn't have the red streaks behind the eyes, instead yellow.
In Ponds.
The answer depends on where you live. Obviously, one kind of turtle may survive in a pond in Florida but not in a pond in Maine, while another may be the exact opposite. Some species may also be illegal in your state or town. Some generally hardy and common pond turtles are red-eared sliders, snapping turtles, and painted turtles. Painted turtles have several subspecies across the country, mostly based on their distribution, so finding one to fit your climate shouldn't be that difficult.
You can keep your slider in a small outdoor pond stocked with small live feeder fish, small snails, and aquatic plants. You can also keep him in an 75 gallon plus indoor tank. You should always bring your turtle in for the winter to keep him from hibernating or from freezing to death.
Pond slider was created in 1792.
A red eared slider turtle grow to be about the size of a plate. Females - 25 cm Males - 15 cm
