About
Red-eared Slider
Chrysemys Scripta Elegans
Traits
Red-eared sliders are fascinating turtles to observe. If allowed a large enough swimming area, these turtles will entertain their owners endlessly. They can live for more than 30 years. The circumference of an adult Red-eared slider is up to 10". All turtles require ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health and shell structure. Ultraviolet lighting is recommended for 12 hours per day. Use a timer to help you maintain an accurate lighting schedule. Have the new terrarium completely set up before bringing your new friend home. Additionally, make sure your new family member is allowed enough time to adjust to its new home. Wait three or four days before attempting to handle your pet and always supervise children when they interact with pets.
Feeding
Red-eared sliders are omnivorous (eat both plant and animal matter).Therefore, they do well on a diet consisting of a variety of vitamin/calcium dusted insects such as crickets, mealworms and waxworms goldfish and other small fish, some aquatic plants (anachris), and dark leafy greens (such as kale, collard greens, mustard greens, etc). In addition to insects, some individuals will also eat prepared foods such as canned turtle food. Always remove food four hours after it is offered to prevent spoilage.
Housing
Red-eared sliders are considered aquatic turtles (they spend much of the day partially or completely submerged in water). Therefore, successful permanent maintenance requires a moderately sized terrarium (30-40 gallon). Ideal daytime temperature for Red-eared sliders should range between 75 and 85 degrees. Additionally, a basking lamp should be used on one end of the enclosure to maintain the temperature of 90-95 degrees. Nighttime temperature should remain between 70 and 75 degrees. The humidity for Red-eared sliders should be kept at or near 70 percent. Equip the terrarium with a screen lid, which is essential for proper air exchange. The enclosure must include either a large sloped water bowl or allow for a swimming area. This can be accomplished by using gravel as a substrate and sloping it to form a "beach" area. It is also recommended that a small powerhead water filter is used to keep the water clean. Live plants can be used in Red-eared slider enclosures to maintain humidity levels and create a natural atmosphere. Misting the habitat once or twice daily will help maintain proper humidity levels. For bedding, 2" to 3" of gravel is recommended. Additionally, gravel should be used when creating a "beach" tank to ensure water remains clear and the pump is working efficiently. With either set-up, the substrate should be cleaned and changed regularly to avoid bacterial growth.
