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!!!" :)

Can a red eared slider turtle live with ouachita map turtle?
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.

How long can red eared slider live without water?
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
Can you put a frog in with your red eared slider and your yellow belly turtles?
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.

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.

What does it mean when a red eared slider does not want to be in the water?
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.
