History

Red-eared sliders make popular pets due to their relatively small size, hardy nature, and ease of care. However, they can live 30-40 years in captivity, so prospective owners need to be prepared for a long-term commitment. Proper housing, diet, and veterinary care are essential for keeping these turtles healthy and thriving.
