ABOUT THE TURTLE BREEDS
RED EARED SLIDER
The red-eared slider, scientifically known as Trachemys scripta elegans, is a popular turtle breed among reptile enthusiasts. Recognized by the distinctive red patch behind each eye, these semi-aquatic turtles are known for their vibrant appearance and sociable nature. Originating from the southern United States, they require a well-maintained aquatic habitat with a basking area to thrive. Red-eared sliders are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet comprising commercial turtle pellets, fresh vegetables, and occasional live prey. With proper care and a spacious tank, red-eared sliders can live for several decades, making them rewarding and long-lived companions.
