Dear Fellow Red-Eared Slider Friend,

Did you acquire your Red-Eared Slider with no intention of researching the animal and following up on instructions from the pet shop?

Were you under the impression that the Red-Eared Slider is an inexpensive pet?

Well, guess what…

Okay, I will admit it – I LOVE Red-Eared Sliders! I have owned and bred these wonderful creatures for a great number of years. In fact, I am one of the most renowned experts on these beautiful semiaquatic turtles.

Unfortunately, not everyone who purchases a Red-Eared Slider has the same level of expertise as me and other authorities on this particular reptile. All too often, an inexperienced patron will wonder into a pet store and purchase a Red-Eared Slider because it looks cool and easy to handle.

Many people believe that they are buying an animal that will be no more difficult to take care of than a goldfish. These people will inevitably make horrible mistakes that can seriously endanger the well-being of their cherished Red-Eared Slider.

In order to fully understand the reason Red-Eared Sliders require such special care and attention, it is important to learn as much about them as possible, starting with their origin. Turtles are one of the oldest living animals on the planet, existing for millions and millions of years!

The natural habitat of the Red-Eared Slider is on the bottom of streams, rivers, ponds and lakes, dining on mealworms, crickets, crayfish, flies, tadpoles and dragonflies. In addition, the Red-Eared Slider is quite the sun lover.

Now, just imagine tearing a Red-Eared Slider from its natural habitat in a large lake or pond, where the temperature is just right… and moving them to…

Unless you happen to live on the bottom of a large body of water, I doubt your living room has the same conditions as the Red-Eared Slider’s natural habitat.This means that you have to create an artificial environment that is similar to their natural habitat.

It is not as simple as filling and aquarium with water and adding a few rocks!

This is where the trouble starts! Most people not only have no idea how to mimic the natural habitat of the Red-Eared Slider, but also do not realize the expense that is involved. When you factor in all of the necessary equipment and supplies, raising your very own Red-Eared Slider can become quite an expensive pastime.

Fortunately, over the years as an owner and breeder of Red-Eared Sliders, I have worked out several tricks and shortcuts that I am willing to share with you, so you can save money, and perhaps your turtle’s life! Are you ready to learn how to create a top-notch, comfortable environment for your Red-Eared Slider?

If you have been considering obtaining a Red-Eared Slider for a while now, you will agree that there are many, many websites and forums on the Internet related to Red-Eared Sliders. However, you can read them all and still not know how to provide the best possible care for your turtle. The reason for this is that most of the people who write for these websites and visit these forums are not experts like me. In fact, many are actually clueless on the subject.

Following the information you find on these websites and forums is like the blind leading the blind!

Why would you want to waste your time trying to learn from people who have no idea how to care for a Red-Eared Slider properly when you have the opportunity to pick the brain of a veteran owner and breeder who actually does it every day?

Stop worrying whether you are doing everything right and learn the proper way to care for your Red-Eared Slider! It is time to take advantage of…

• It is important to think about the place where you plan to purchase your Red-Eared Slider and take the time to make sure the one that you bring home is healthy.
• Due to the dwindling population of wild Red-Eared Sliders, many are now bred in captivity, which is great for prospective pet owners.
• Turtles bred in captivity are generally healthier than wild turtles, which may be infested with mites, ticks, or internal parasites.
• If you choose to bring home a Red-Eared Slider from the wild, the first thing you should do is take it to a vet who has experience with reptiles. You will also want to keep your wild turtle quarantined for about a month to make sure no health problems are present that may affect your family or other pets in your home.
• It is possible to purchase Red-Eared Sliders via mail order from commercial dealers and breeders.
• Purchasing your Red-Eared Slider from a pet store provides you with the opportunity to inspect the turtle and its habitat before purchase to determine if the animal has been cared for properly.
• The eyes of a Red-Eared Slider should be bright and clear without any cloudy fluids or discharge. The eyes should not be swollen, crusty or pasted shut.
• If a Red-Eared Slider is healthy, its nostrils will be clean so it can breathe through its nose easily as opposed to breathing through its mouth. There should not be any mucus or other fluids running out of or bubbling around the nose, nor should you be able to hear it breathing.
• There should be no wrinkles or folds in the skin around the legs. Also, check for evidence of injury, such as swelling or bruising.
• The shell of a healthy Red-Eared Slider is firm and hard. Look for missing scales or evidence of bleeding around the shell.
• Avoid purchasing a turtle that shows any signs of having diarrhea, which is an indication that parasites are present.
• A turtle that feels light may be suffering from malnutrition or have other serious health issues.
• A healthy Red-Eared Slider should be aware of its surroundings. If it pulls its head into its shell, it should come back out in a few minutes. If possible, watch the turtle at feeding time to ensure it is maintaining a proper diet.

Once you have chosen the right Red-Eared Slider, you will need to know how to communicate with it. Although they are awesome creatures, these turtles do not talk. Instead, they rely on body language to communicate their feelings to you.

If you want to make sure your Red-Eared Slider has everything it wants, it is crucial for you to learn how to understand body language!
