Previous Post: No, they nibble. DUH. Slorg165: ...that was a retarded answer,how the hell can turtles nibble!? MICE nibble,RATS nibble,TURTLES snap (bite,more of a snap though). ,':\ ...but yes,red ear slider turtles do bite,so I'd suggest you dont put your fingers near its mouth. But MY turtle doesnt bite,Herbert,hee hee. :) I think Its because when ever he tried to bite,I just blew in his mouth and then hed stop. :p My turtles weird. :3 They bite because they are scared!! :)

Red eared slider turtles bask though out the day. There is no specific time that they prefer.
I've got a yellow belly slider, And I've had him for a about 3 months. Hes only a baby, But he has mistaken my finger for food, And tried to bite it, Just don't put your finger near its mouth, And I'm sure if it did bite you, It wouldn't hurt. And I request Yellow belly and Missipi map turtles, As first turtle pets. They're great, Just think about there future though, Due to the fact they can live for a long time. =]
You can purchase a good quality turtle food and/or leafy greens. You can allow the greens to float in the water. The turtles will bite off of it.
Well.......... They dont really have much but the Red Eared Slider turtle will bite if you make it mad and the Snapping turtle could bite your finger off! The Alligator Snapping turtle has a 300 pound bite! That is about the only thing!
A slider turtle is basically like a category of turtles including the Yellow Belly Slider Turtle and the Red Eared Slider turtle.
The red eared slider does, but the yellow bellied slider does not.
no
for hibernation.
