Red Ear Slider Care Basics
Red Ear Sliders are semi-aquatic turtles that need both water and a basking area. Key care points:
- Tank size: Minimum 40 gallons for one adult turtle (bigger is better long-term)
- Water quality: A strong filter is a must — sliders are messy eaters
- Basking spot: UVB lighting and a heat lamp are required for shell and bone health
- Diet: Turtle pellets, leafy greens, and occasional protein (feeder fish, shrimp)
- Temperature: Basking area 85–90°F, water 75–78°F
A Note on Growth
Red Ear Sliders can grow to 8–12 inches as adults, so plan for a bigger tank as your turtle matures — this is one of the most common care mistakes new owners make.
Shipping & Guarantee
