Hatchlings are around 1 inch. After one year they are typically 2 to 3 inches. Somewhere around 3 to 5 years old, females are about 5 inches and sexually mature. Males are sexually mature at 4 inches which they reach at 2 to 4 years old. Then their growth slows down considerably, females generally growing 10 to 12 inches and males generally growing 7 to 9 inches.
Red Eared sliders grow at different rates depending on their health and the quality and availability of food. Pet turtles tend to grow faster than wild turtles.
