A red eared slider can go without food for atleast 7 days, ( That's a whole week!) I had to do the same thing leaving my read eared slider home, but if you put in some food before you leave and a Turtle Bone (TM) He will be fine, try looking the turtle bone on petsmart.com

Well they can live for about 6 months. Of course they will be getting skinny and it is very unhealthy so i am hoping that you will be feeding the poor creature. She will seem to be getting fatter because her body is generating it's own body fat while she is eating nothing. Now i hope this help but please feed the poor animal.

MY first thought when I saw this question was '...this person is going on holiday, and wants to know how long they can abandon their pet for...' IF that's the case - DON'T ! ANY pet-shop that specialises in reptiles will be able to house your res for short periods (for a small fee to cover food etc)
