Why this pet is the one for you:
The red-eared slider is a large turtle that should be kept only by hobbyists who will be able to provide a large enclosure or pond. Full grown adults can reach 12 inches in length. The red-eared slider has been kept for many years by a wide variety of hobbyists, both beginners and veterans. Red-eared sliders are strong swimmers and will spend a majority of their time in the water. They bask a lot, too, and during warm, sunny days, wild red-ears love to stack on top of each other while doing so. The slightest movement or sound will send them sliding off their rocks or logs and back into the water-this, coupled with the red ear mark on both sides of their heads, gives them their common name. Pet red-eared sliders can be very personable and will often swim up to you, begging for food.
