How intelligent are yellow belly slider turtles?

They can be if you take good care of them. They grow fast very quickly, and their nails are very sharp. Make sure that any kids are supervised when around the turtle, because I, and many others have almost dropped the turtle because of their strength, and sharp nails. Always make sure you hold a turtle with both hands, and never 2 turtles at once. Make sure you have plenty of room for a tank, which if you have the turtle for long enough, will get to be more than 20 gallons. I have a 30 gallon tank with more than 11 gallons of water in it. If you want a clean pet, then I recommend you don't get any turtle in general. They are very messy, and require weekly filter replacements, and monthly tank cleanings. If you are getting/have a tank that is to big to fit in the sink when tilted (probably about 20 gallons at the most for sinks.) Then get a water vacuum. These take out water with suction (there's no need for electric ones, unless you can not reach over the glass.) If you are not prepared for a complicated, messy pet, then a turtle is not the right pet for you.


What do you do with a baby turtle just out of its egg?

i think a baby turtle should try to hide because he or her might be too small to go in the water and the reason they can't go in is because some baby turtle's know how to swim but some baby turtle's don't know how to swim.

Can you wash a turtle with body wash?

I wouldn't use body wash on a turtle. It was not made for animal use and while it may have been tested on animals does not mean its good for them. The wash could irritate its skin. Best answer don't wash your turtle its not necessary or go to the pet store and look for a soap that was made for turtles. p.s. if it was tested on animals it wasn't tested on a turtle and it does not mean it has negative affect on the animal.


How do a clean an empty turtle shell?

To clean an empty turtle shell, you can gently scrub it with a soft brush and warm soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as these could damage the shell. Once you are done cleaning, rinse the shell thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely before storing or displaying it.

That depends, if you have a twenty gallon tank (too small, but just for example) you should have a filter that can filter 20 gallons efficiently. I would recomend a whisper power filter, it tells you how big of a tank it should be in. (For a 20 gal. it will say on it "20".) hope this helps :)

Even though it is completely healed you still should clean it. You don't have to as much as when you first got it but it still can get infected and you should just clean it in the shower and do soaks every once in a while.
