When your red eared slider hisses at you, it is basically the same as when a cat hisses. They either want you to stop handling them, go away, or get out of their face. My larger and grumpier red eared slider hisses all the time, so don't take it personally if they hiss at you and think they hate you. They've just had enough. But I laugh at mine, since all you have to do sometimes is walk by him and hear a soft "ssssssss!!!" :)
Red Ear Sliders usually hiss when they feel bothered.
it also means go away and he wants you to stop holding him
Because they might get frightened or scared. And they may not like something.
It is probably scared or mad at you
yes they can hiss
1stly its not "red eye slider", its "red eared slider". the biting may be his way of saying keep out of my territory. you should separate themin these cases
I'm pretty sure. I've had a red eared slider and an Ouachita map turtle living together in the same tank for about... I don't know exactly... Maybe about 3 years? They are friendly toward each other (well, they aren't mean to each other) so I'm pretty sure they can be in the same tank. But my red eared slider did grow up together.
It doesn't like you then.
Red-Eared Slider can stay dry for days to weeks, but they cannot eat without water, I mean enough water to site in while eating as they cannot swallow without the ad of water. If you are transporting the red-Eared being dry is okay, keeping a turtle as a pet dry will be almost considered torture as they will slowly die of starvation and dehydration
First of all, a 10 gallon tank is too small for a turtle, let alone a turtle AND a frog! The proper rule of thumb for aquatic turtles is 10 gallons for every inch of turtle... if you have a 4 inch long turtle, you need at least 40 gallons of water. And second of all, putting a frog with a slider of any age will mean a fed turtle. The turtle WILL eat the frog. Don't try it.
if you mean the fish spelled PLECO. There is a small chance that it will.
He is probably trying to hibernate
it means you will be dead within 10 hours and should be taken to the vet as soon a possible
Do you mean black claws or back claws? Well, the answer is yes, to both. Their claws are blackish-looking on the inside (although on the outside they are translucent like human fingernails), and yes, female red-eared sliders have both front and back claws, just like the males. The difference is that the claws of the male are usually much longer.
oh dude. well i just got a red ear slider a week ago and ive been constantly researching them. but ive heard that when there shell gets white spots it means they have shell rot. look it up yourself on redearslider.com well that sounds horrible and id recommend to go to the vet as soon as possible
hisses or explodes
Well, he is probably just out basking. I have a baby eastern painted turtle that stays out of the water most of the day. There is no need to worry just make sure that he doesn't get stuck to whatever he is basking on, from being dry. It is okay for him to be dry just make sure that he gets wet every 3 hours or so.
