They are not very fast and they have a shell to help keep them safe. Water turtles (red earred slider only, that what i had i dont know if this info will be use ful for any other water turtles)need a temp of 75-80f, they like a heat lamp on for 12hours a day and turned off at night. They have to have drops in the water to provent cholrin, and they also have to have drops that keep their shell from getting algre on it. They don't eat other turtles, but if they feel feared by one they will bit it to death. Doesn't matter how big or little the turtles are they will bit it to death. How to prevent this from happening is to put the turtles in the tank at the same time, so they dont get territoryal. They eat pellets until they are about 3mths old. After that can eat worms and goldfish, and pellets.
They hibernate in the mud.
