Best Answer

In nature and outdoor captivity, red eared sliders swim in water, and then climb on top of rocks to bask in the sun for periods of time.

In an indoor tank, red eared sliders swim in the tank and then climb on top of a floating turtledock provided by their owner, and bask in UV-B simulating lamps.

What kind of turtle has red around its mouth and a hard shell that is a land turtle?

It depends on where the red is on the turtle and also where you found the turtle. Also, how do you know it is a land turtle? Aquatic turtles leave the water and walk for long distances. If the red looks like a horizontal streak, on each side of the head, it could be a red ear slider. There are many pictures of turtles online and thousands of species of turtles. In the U.S., the Red Ear Slider is one of the most common species, though.
