RED EARED SLIDER AND PAINTED TURTLE CARE GUIDE

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Today we're going over red eared slider and painted turtle care and some of the specific details of how to care for them. Sliders and painteds are some of the most common pet turtles, and for good reason! They're very hardy, adaptable, and forgiving of beginner mistakes. However, they do have some basic needs that have to be met in order from them to thrive.

    I was supposed to be “turtle sitting” a slider for two weeks, ended up keeping her, knowing NOTHING about turtles, I quickly realized she had shell rot, was in a 20 gallon tank that was WAY too small for her, couldn’t fit on her basking area… now I have a slider because I refused to give her back. Now she has a much much bigger tank, a proper basking area, proper food, and the shell rot is treated. Thank you for your page!!

    We've had red eared sliders since I was 4. We started with two, but one passed away a year ago. My parents neglect the one we have left, and now that I am an adult, I have decided to take his care into my own hands. This video was very helpful, and I can't thank you enough :)

"Ninja" is now 7" long & we are on our 4th tank. He loves his 70 gallon tank. He's super sociable & comes to the glass to greet our family & friends. But I feel he & I have a special connection😊 My husband & I are 75, so we have willed him to my son. Thanks for your great videos!❤

    My wife recently came home with two red eared slider hatchlings to surprise our kids. A very sweet surprise, but unfortunately no idea what she got us into when getting them. Either way, they're home now and I'm doing as much research I can to make sure we can take care of them. Although this video is a couple years old, it's been a huge help. I just didn't realize the scale of what's needed to take care of these animals.... and we have two. Need to figure out spacing for either two tanks, or one huge one. Especially after finding out the sex of both of them. Everyone, wish me luck!

    Wow so excited to watch all your videos. I have had my red eared slider for... idk 15-20 years? started as a hatchling. Moved from PA->OH->AZ->UT-> and where ever life will take us! She is quite a diva.

    If it was a pair of red eared sliders--there are a bunch of turtles in the northeast that can look pretty similar--they're invasive and drive out native species by taking habitat and food. Probably originated from someone not wanting their pet turtle anymore. It's really unfortunate. :(

    I rescued my painted turtle 6 years ago. I was raking my lawn and what felt like a stone hit my leg, I looked down to see a little turtle the size of a quarter upside down on his back. It was late in the fall and was close to snowing and I was concerned when I was 14 that he was gonna die, so he became my turtle. His name is Arty.

    I can't thank you enough for ALL your informative videos. I really wanted to get a turtle but I didn't want to stick it in an empty 20 gallon tank and call it good. NOT good!! LOL But the more research I did, the more confused and worried I got. Go figure right?! So I slowed down, went back to the basics, compared your videos with a couple other youtube turtle owners I could trust and after months of research I am finally the proud momma of 2 hatchling Pink Belly Sidenecks. It's your fault TurtleGirl. and I will forever be grateful for your inspiration, knowledge and willingness to spend countless hundreds of hours helping us be the best turtle parents we can be.

The aggression part is no joke, had to give away one of my turtles when i got them (a few months in) because she kept trying to be territorial and she bit a chunk off her sisters tail.

    Wow! This guide is great! I have a Yellow Bellied Slider, (Similar to the Red Eared Slider-) she's around 2 or 3, and she's doing great. I personally have a fish option that has worked for me is the Buenos Aires Tetra. They're schooling fish (I have 4, but I reccomend more if the tank is larger than a 15 gal-), they live in the same temperature water as Red Eared Sliders, and they're fast and small. My turtle did try to eat them at first, but she warmed up to them, and they swim all around eachother now.
