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 !

∙ 11y agoOf 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.
