They do make good pets! But as all terrapins have this thing that you might catch if you don't wash your hands after handling them! So wash them before you handle them and after. :)

The Red Eared Slider is the most common kind of pet turtle, so I'm guessing that the Red Eared Slider is the best kind of turtle for a pet. People do seem to like it!
Of course! A red eared slider is the most common pet turtle in America!
nobecause the store is gay
They are mostly found in an pet shop
A slider turtle is basically like a category of turtles including the Yellow Belly Slider Turtle and the Red Eared Slider turtle.
You shouldn't catch a turtle for a pet, you should buy one bred in captivity. It's better for the turtle.
well, a "slider turtle", or a red eared slider always has a red line where their ears would be. that's obviously how they get the name!
you can buy a cuttle bone at the pet store (they are designed for birds) and float it in the tank for the turtle to knaw on. This is cheap, like a dollar or two.
YES, you can put a map turtle in the same tank with a slider.
Key considerations for caring for a red-eared slider turtle pet include providing a proper habitat with a large enough tank, UVB lighting, a basking area, and clean water. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet of commercial turtle pellets, vegetables, and occasional treats like insects or fish is important. Regular tank cleanings, monitoring water quality, and providing opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation are also crucial for the well-being of a red-eared slider turtle.
this type of turtle is called a soft back turtle. it is about 3 to 5 inches long including tale and is usually kept as a pet. O.k that other person up there is wrong..This is a red bellied turtle.Or a mix of a red bellied turtle and a red eared slider..So there is the correct answer :D
A turtle!
