In nature and outdoor captivity, red eared sliders swim in water, and then climb on top of rocks to bask in the sun for periods of time. In an indoor tank, red eared sliders swim in the tank and then climb on top of a floating turtledock provided by their owner, and bask in UV-B simulating lamps.

What type of gravel do red eared sliders need?

usually medium to large gravel. Youll want to have gravel that is bigger than they can swallow (bigger than their head) If you stick to that, that gravel should be fine. I would recommend river rocks, as those are very inexpensive and look great.


How do you decorate red eared sliders tank?

Well, I have two red-eared sliders. And I just fill their tank with a lot of small rocks since I go to the beach sometimes, and I have so many rocks in my backyard. You don't have to do that, but then the "droppings" and food that's not eaten would sink to the floor and your turtle(s) would be swimming in it. If you have rocks, sometimes those things are buried underneath. I also have like small "trees" for decorations, and a shallow rock. If your turtle(s) are big and you realize the tank is REALLY dirty when you clean it, you should get a bigger tank or clean it more often. I clean mine 3-4 days and by then, it's really dirty. Well I hope this helped! If you have any more "caring for turtles" questions, just ask me!

How about turtle?

a turtle is a great pet to help teach you responsibility and commitment. i would suggest getting a red eared slider. it would also be great to get at least two because they tend to get lonely and play with their reflections from their tanks ( or hide n corners). red eared sliders are known for sliding off of smooth surfaces like rocks. they love to eat baby shrimp and have a red streak on each side of their head.
