Fairly easy though they are very dirty if you are thinking of one as a pet. They grow very fast and can get pretty good sized take up a lot of room. And I know that it is illegal to own them as pets in the state where they are native in the wild so be sure that they are even legal as pets in your area.

If i have turtles but i dont know what species they are will that affect their life and i dont know if my turtles are red eared sliders or water turtles is it possible for them to be both?

Red Eared Sliders are aquatic turtles. They generally spend their time in a pond like environment, and come up to bask in the sun.Image search "red eared slider" to find out. They are very unique looking and very easy to tell what kind of turtle they are.Then, return them wherever you got them. You obviously shouldn't be owning turtles.

Yes, red eared sliders and yellow bellied sliders are both subspecies of "pond slider", in the wild where their range overlaps they mate quite often producing what are called "intergrades".

How do can you tell the difference in the sex of a red-eared slider turtle?

If you have two red eared sliders its really easy to tell, given that they are two different genders. If you get them while they are still very small its kinda hard, but once they grow a little larger its actually quite easy to tell. Males have longer tails and longer front claws, while females are all-around larger. I have a male and a female myself, it was hard to tell at first but now that they are a comple of months old I can see that one is bigger than the other. If you only have one, the best bet is to look up on the internet "red eared slider gender", you will see various pictures of how long claws and tails are for females and males relative to the rest of their body. If you still cant figure it out, I suggest just taking it to the vet.

What is wrong with my red eared slider if he's looking up at me and whining?

If you mean swimming up to the glass and frantically trying to swim to you, he's trying to get you to give him food. It's too easy to give into his/her begging, but overfeeding it can lead to health problems. Small red eared sliders should be fed once a day and adults should be fed every other day.


Do red eared sliders eat in water or on land?

yes but baby turtles need low water to reach the top surface for breathing air otherwise your turtle may drown as your turtle ages it has its strength to reach the top with a full tank of water.Keep atleast 5 inches of breathing air space for your turtle. For the most part, hatchlings need to have their yolk sack completely gone before they really get into the water. What is good is a small bowl of water that is baby warm just enough to cover the feet cause we don't want them to drown. They are very tiny and they are babies after all and get tired easily.Make sure that they do have access to a proper UVB light and make sure that you cut up their food into tiny pieces. Make sure that you handle them carefully and talk to him or her as you do. They are very fragile and they spook easy. Keep their habitat very clean. Outside of that, enjoy your little one.


How do yellow belly sliders mate?

Yes, red eared slidersand yellow bellied slidersare both part of the slider family, so they are easy to cross breed. If you go to a pet shop, you will notice that most baby yellow bellied sliders have faint red 'ears' because they were interbred with red eared sliders.
