Are red eared slider turtles warm or cold blooded?

Answer 1

You need to go to a pet store for aquatic animals and buy a light that works like the sun's rays. Red Sliders love to sun bathe, so if you keep them in a tank inside, you need to buy a light like that. Trust me, I have had 2 red sliders for the past 4 years :)
