This is normal, its growing bigger so sheds its shell as it does so.
Kill it with fire, it's furry.
I have never heard of a yellwo ear turtle before. By chance, do you mean yellow belly turtle?
It depends on where the red is on the turtle and also where you found the turtle. Also, how do you know it is a land turtle? Aquatic turtles leave the water and walk for long distances. If the red looks like a horizontal streak, on each side of the head, it could be a red ear slider. There are many pictures of turtles online and thousands of species of turtles. In the U.S., the Red Ear Slider is one of the most common species, though.
Yes, they have internal ear structures. They are sensitive to vibration and sound.
Do you know what turtle isn't expensive, a red ear trappin!
Take it to a herp experienced vet ASAP! A broken carapace is nothing to mess around with.
No, your turtle HAS to have land that he can crawl up on and dry off on. If he can't dry off then he will develop a fungus infection on his shell and skin. It could really hurt him so please buy your turtle a floating rock or log.

We had young red-ear sliders several years ago and the white stuff you see may simply be that your turtle is growing, and shedding old skin. It floats as they swim and could be mistaken for some type of white algae or fungus, I suppose. If the turtle otherwise seems happy and healthy, I would assume that's what it is. Good luck!
I have been raising turtles for a long time. Depending on the turtle's health, the turtle will shed it's shell and skin up to 3 or even 4 times a year. When it sheds it's shell and skin it just means that it is growing, and like most reptiles it has to shed. Do not help peel it off as it can rip the skin underneath it, hurting the turtle. The best thing to do to help your turtle is to get a good size rough sand stone rock. Your turtle may use this to rub it's loose skin and shell off with. As the turtle matures it sheds less, maybe only once a year. If your turtle has dry, cracked skin keep it in warm water for a few weeks while feeding it foods that are high on calcium, like bananas.... yes bananas... If your turtle won't eat bananas go out and buy frozen (or fresh) blood worms. put the turtle in a clean large ice cream container with about half an inch of water. Mix a little bit of the blood worms with calcium and/or vitamin D powder, and put it in the container with your turtle. You don't want blood worms in your tank unless you plan on cleaning it right away. Calcium and vitamin D will help heal your turtle's skin and shell. I hope this answers your question, and helps with the health of your turtle's skin and shell.
they are all useful
