usually they will live for up to 50 years if you care for them properly otherwise they will live only 5 or 6
Red-eared sliders typically lay eggs when they are around 5 to 7 years old.
if the red eared slider's shell is 15cm. it is 5 years old!
Red Eared sliders are aggressive over food, territory mates, etc. Most likely it was due to that aggression. I would suggest separating the sliders and taking the injured slider a vet. Good Luck!
Females have to be about 5-7 years old, 7 in. long. Males 2-5 years, old 4 inches long.
Aquatic turtles, such as red-eared sliders, live for several decades, and can potentially outlive human beings. I remember reading an article about the oldest known aquatic turtle still alive in the United States; it was around 60 years old (almost as old as its owner). I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't. Sorry. Sea turtles can live even longer; it is not unusual for them to live well past 100 years old.

Provided the temperature us suitable, and their living space is secure from other animals - then yes. Just make sure they have enough room to have their own 'space' if necessary.
Red eared sliders mate at the age of 1-3 years ( females ). Red eared sliders mate at the age of 1 6 years ( males ). Both Male and Female have to be 6-8 inches. For the most part this is false. Red ear slider females need to be atleast 6 inches and atleast 3 years old but usually 4 to 5 years old. Males need to be 5 inches and atleast 2 years old but usually closer to 3 or 4 years old. So basically unless your turtles are atleast 3 years old then there will be no mating, the male might try but the female will usually not "accept" until she is ready.
Healthy water turtles can live as many as 40 to 60 years. Generally speaking though, Red Ear Sliders generally live to be around 20.
AnswerDo you have a heat lamp for the turtle? See the Related Question below.AnswerMy baby turtle has the same problem but I'll tell you what I know... Red eared sliders can only eat in water, and they wont eat if its too cold or if your watching him/her. also try giving him/her different foods and try to see if he/she will eat that. also if it is a new turtle then wait a few day until it is used to its surrondings. and baby red eared sliders like meat alot more then anything else so try and give cooked salmon or cooked meat. I hope that your turtle eats!Another Answer:Red Eared Slider turtles eat MEAT when babies, make sure they are at home and comfy and not spazzing out, then slip a small piece of chicken in their tank. It will sink, but they should find it. Also, when Red Eared Sliders are babies, the water cannot go above their heads if they are on their back legs. Their heads need to poke out.
