Peachofawn 5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book to anyone, a new RES owner or current, because the information is lasting, and can guide you step by step along the route to success w your RES. I couldn't possibly have gotten as far as I did with my happy turtle's care had it not been for Red-Eared Slider A-Z!!! It has everything in it from purchase to habitat setup, from health care to the joy of long term ownership. I think the book excels at teaching the new RES owner. Mr. Shell is there for you. He so kindly emails answers to the many questions a new owner will indeed have, as a RES is not an easy, maintenance-free pet. Mr. Shell helped me immensely with habitat and lighting especially. I heartily recommend this book to anyone thinking of owning a RES or who already owns one. Following Mr. Shell's text will ensure your success. Forty years of knowledge, wow, THAT is useful. Thank you again Mr. Shell, my Tara and Sparky thank you as well:)I love his love for turtles. Only been a turtle owner a couple of months but have always loved them. My husband has learned they have a special personality.I loved it and I read it in one day. Everything was laid out in plain English, easy to read and easy to understand. I felt I learnt so much from this book and got more confident about owning and caring for these adorable little creatures.This book is very informative on turtles.There's a lot of information to know and this author explains it all in detail.http://www.eldorado777.ro/upload/editor/convotherm-oes-10_10-manual.xml What I like best is that he gives us his email address in case any questions come up and I have emailed Steven Shell a few times with questions I had. He responds back quickly and offers his advice to help you as best he can. It's great to have an experienced turtle owner to go to for advice.I wrote the author about a mature RES that I found crossing a busy street (I rescued it). I had no prior knowledge about caring for a RES and all the information on the internet was about young RES in tanks. I needed information about keeping an adult in an outdoor environment, and the author answered my questions and gave me great additional information on keeping my RES on the patio. Thanks to the author's suggestions, I am able to make a suitable home for my RES along with how to feed her.It addresses the most common questions and explains everything you need to know about RES.

This is what you need to know about baby red-eared slider care.http://astucesvoyages.com/images/canon-ir-4570-user-manual.pdf The biggest difference is feeding frequency. Everything else, such as your aquarium size, basking spot setup and lighting doesn’t need to change. However, before you commit to purchasing and taking on a baby slider, you need to make sure it is healthy first. It doesn’t necessarily have to be bright, as some sliders’ shell colors can be dull or darker. However, it should have a “glossy” look to it. If there, this could be a sign of an impending infection or a more serious health problem. Does the turtle make slow or exaggerated movements. If so, this could be a sign of an infection or illness of some kind. Eyes that have an overall yellow or red tinge could also be a sign of serious illness. If the turtle has a respiratory infection, it won’t be able to dive down into the water and instead will only be able to float. Raising a healthy red-eared slider requires some luck. Even if you do everything right, there will always be a few turtles that simply won’t be able to live out their full lives. It’s simply a reflection of nature. I recommend either Mazuri or Tetra for pellet food. For more information on both as well as why I recommend these two brands, check out my article here. Small fish Dried shrimp Other small insects After reaching 6 months switch to every other day feedings. If it is under 2 inches in length, feed it every day. If it is anywhere from 2 inches to 3.5 inches, you can start feeding it pellets every other day. How much food should you be offering them? So, if you are giving them mealworms, or small fish, use however much would be about the size of their head. This is about a level tablespoon. Don’t let them eat for more than 10 minutes, however, as this can lead to overfeeding. It probably won’t eat them. So, it’s highly unlikely your baby slider is going to be eating any vegetables that you give it, especially if you are also feeding it a protein-source. In fact, eventually, you’ll be feeding it a protein source just once or twice a week. This stress is almost always the result of being moved into a new aquarium or habitat. What usually happens is your baby turtle will retract into its shell for most of the day. Or it will just sit somewhere, motionless. After a few days it will start eating them. Offer it a variety of different proteins, such as mealworms, worms, crickets, small fish, small shrimp, turtle pellets, etc. It may simply be a very picky eater. If your baby slider isn’t eating anything for days going into weeks, it may be sick. Check for signs of common illnesses. After you find the most likely culprit, treat accordingly. There may be something in or around its aquarium that causes it continual stress. Consider making alternations to your baby red-eared slider’s habitat, such as; moving it away from high-traffic areas, checking the temperature, UV light, etc. Give it time. If you’ve checked for signs of illness and checked the tank for anything which may be causing to stress, you may simply need to give your baby slider some more time. It should start eating something within a week. If after a week or so it is still not eating, try calling your local vet for further instruction. Here’s the bare minimum. I am attaching links to places where you can buy these items for the cheapest price: Don’t do this! In fact, it should be the opposite, the sooner you take care of your turtle’s needs, the less concern and worry you should have! The most important rule here is to get the biggest you can get. Bigger is always better! If you are off by a little, it’s not going to make a huge difference. From personal experience, I can tell you that a 55-gallon tank is going to be sufficient for a fully-grown RES. The key point here is to NOT keep your slider in something really small. That’s just misery for an aquatic turtle like a red-eared slider. You should steer clear of any UV lights with less than 5-10 UV-B output, as it won’t be strong enough. For your heat source, measure the basking area and put the heating lamp as far away or close to ensure the basking area is between 85 to 90 degrees. Essentially, the gist of it is is that there are several types of water heaters, but the one you want (in all likelihood) will be a submersible water heat. They are inexpensive and work well. It’s a little bit more pricey than simply custom building your own dock (which I have done), but I simply love how it sits on the tank. It also gives your turtle a ton of extra room. One or two can bask inside it easily but after that, it gets way too cramped. Moving turtles into new environments causes quite a bit of stress for a turtle. It’s common for turtles to be inactive after habitat changes. It could also be scared. Sliders become very skittish when they bask because that is when they are most vulnerable to predators. And to a new baby red-eared slider, you look an awful lot like a predator. The temperature is too high or too low. This goes for both your water and basking temperature. If your water temperature is too high, your baby turtle might not feel the need to bask. Ditto if your basking area temperature is too low. And if it is too high it will just avoid it altogether. Keep your water temperature somewhere in the 70 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range and your basking temperature in the mid to high 80s. It can’t bask because it can’t get there. Lastly, sometimes you don’t see your baby red-eared slider bask because it either can’t get there or has too much trouble getting there. Always make sure your turtle’s basking spot is accessible. Test it. Make sure your turtle can easily climb up any ramps you have. Your tank and your filter is probably going to be the two most expensive items you will ever have to buy for your turtle, so make sure you get it right the first time. I’m a bigger fan of Fluval, however, Penn Plax filters are usually a tad cheaper and are nearly as good in my opinion. Check out my guide here. Turtles are messy, and yes they don’t use filters out in nature, however, they also don’t sit in still water for weeks on end, like they would in a tank. Nitrate build-up in a tank can be very harmful to your turtle. And that’s handling your baby turtle. Now, I know that red-eared sliders can seem personable and playful but avoid picking it up and touching it as much as possible. Turtles are very dirty, full of germs, and carry salmonella. As much as you want to, don’t play with your turtle as you would a pet cat or other animal. Turtles generally do not like touched or held. This causes lots of stress and anxiety. If you do need to pick up your baby red-eared slider, do it by scooping it so that it is sitting on your hand. This will give him a sense of stability and it won’t kick its feet everywhere. As much as you want to, try not to rub its shell. Turtles do not like this. Their shell is an extension of their skeleton. Imagine if somebody was rubbing on your ribs. You wouldn’t like it either. Be careful when putting your hand in the tank. Red-eared sliders don’t have hurtful bites, but they do sometimes bite. This usually happens when they mistake your finger for food. Sick turtles can be expensive. Feed your baby turtle pellets daily. Once it reaches between 2 and 3.5 inches in (shell) length, switch to every other day feedings. To provide a proper habitat, you’ll need a large aquarium, a water filter, basking spot, UV-light, thermometer, and possibly a water heater. Avoid handling your baby red-eared slider as much as possible. Years ago when I got my first turtle, I made a ton of mistakes. My goal with TurtleHolic is simple: educate others to not make the same mistakes I did. The section is now dynamically updated from the NAS database to ensure that it contains the most current and accurate information. Occurrences are summarized in Table 1, alphabetically by state, with years of earliest and most recent observations, and the tally and names of drainages where the species was observed. The table contains hyperlinks to collections tables of specimens based on the states, years, and drainages selected. References to specimens that were not obtained through sighting reports and personal communications are found through the hyperlink in the Table 1 caption or through the individual specimens linked in the collections tables. Younger individuals have numerous dark, eyelike spots on the yellow plastron (Conant and Collins, 1998).The list of references for all nonindigenous occurrences of Trachemys scripta elegans are found here.

In California, this ability to rapidly colonize available habitat may be aided by an extensive system of manmade canals and irrigation ditches. Females lay 2-23 eggs per clutch in a cavity dug out of the soil, and as many as five clutches may be oviposited per year (Gibbons, 1990; Ernst et al., 1994). Additionally, most species of turtles are subject to intense commercial trade in the Asian food market (Williams, 1999); therefore, the transport and potential release of T. scripta for food and aquaculture in Asia and U.S. Pacific states with proportionally large Asian populations cannot be ruled out. Stebbins (1985) claims that pond sliders may have been introduced to Baja California, Mexico, for food; but his identity of this species as T. scripta is uncertain. As recently as 2001, a Dutch animal welfare group attempted to ship unwanted pet T. s. elegans to Italy for eventual nonindigenous release into the wild (M. Hoogmoed and J. Perala as communicated to K. Dodd, personal communication 2001). Klemens (1993) may be unaware of breeding populations found in Ontario, Canada, and Michigan; therefore; his doubts probably have no basis in fact. In the state of New York, T. s. elegans seem to be invasive, particularly on Long Island; however, it is unclear if related T. s. scripta, a race that prefers a warmer climate, can reproduce or even survive long at this latitude. Nonindigenous Yellow-bellied Sliders are established in Fairfax County, northern Virginia (Ernst et al., 1997). The Red-eared Sliders found in Cumberland and Kennebec Counties, Maine, are surviving through the winter months, but it is not known if they are reproducing (Albright, 1999). In Maryland, Red-eared Sliders are well established and invasive in a broad region throughout much of the northern and central portions of the state (Harris, 1975; Conant and Collins, 1998). A forthcoming assessment of the status of nonindigenous pond sliders in Florida will be made by Meshaka et al. (2003). There is no evidence for an established population of nonindigenous T. s. elegans in Wisconsin (Cochran et al., 1987). The current populations of T. s. elegans in Marion County, Indiana, are established and spreading, yet it is not clear if they represent an indigenous migration or nonindigenous introduction (Minton, 2001). In Nebraska, there do not seem to be any current, established, nonindigenous T. s. elegans, and the only indigenous population occurs in Richardson County in the extreme southeast corner of the state (Ballinger and Lynch, 1999). All Red-eared Sliders found in Colorado seem to be waifs from pet releases (Livo et al., 1998); therefore, this species is not listed by Hammerson (1999) as being part of Colorado's herpetofauna. In the Pacific states of California, Oregon, and Washington, T. s. elegans is well established in numerous localities (Brown et al., 1995; Williams, 1999; Dvornich et al., 2001; D. Holland, personal communication 1997; L. Overtree, personal communication 1997; H. B. Schaffer, personal communication 2000; J. Abel, personal communication 2001). The records provided in this review may greatly underestimate the distribution of T. scripta in these states. In Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, T. s. elegans is established but impacts are unclear (McCoid, 1993; Ernst et al., 1994; McCoid and Kleberg, 1995; McKeown, 1996). Red-eared Sliders are well established on Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles (Schwartz and Henderson, 1985, 1991; Censky and Kaiser, 1999). In most cases, T. s. elegans seem to be established in its various non-U.S., worldwide localities mentioned above (Ernst et al., 1994; Lamar, 1997; Cox et al., 1998; Salzberg, 2000; Minton, 2001), except perhaps, New Zealand (Thomas and Hartnell, 2000). However, Beebee and Griffiths (2000) do not believe summers in the United Kingdom are long enough or warm enough for successful incubation of T. s. elegans eggs. In various parts of Southeast Asia, Red-eared Sliders are present (Cox et al., 1998). This combined with their omnivorous diet and ability to adapt to various habitats, gives them great potential for impacting indigenous habitats should reproducing populations become established. The spread of T. s. elegans throughout the Pacific states in the U.S. is ominous and requires further monitoring. The spread of Red-eared Sliders in southern U.S. states, where the closely related Yellow-bellied Slider is indigenous, has the potential for T. s. elegans to compete with T. s. scripta. Additionally, interbreeding between the two races has occurred in various southern states (Ernst et al., 1994; Mitchell, 1994; Palmer and Braswell, 1995; Williams, 1999), which compromises the genetic integrity of indigenous Yellow-bellied Sliders. In New Mexico, T. s. elegans can cause a similar problem by hybridizing with Trachemys gaigae (Seidel et al., 1999; Stuart, 2000). Aquaculture of Red-eared Sliders for the pet trade are often associated with the threat of salmonellosis in children who receive them as pets (Williams, 1999), but it could negatively impact indigenous wild turtles when released pets spread diseases and parasites into the environment (Stuart, 2000). Scientific and standard English names follow Crother (2008). Pond sliders are commercially raised in incredibly large numbers for the pet trade throughout the southeastern U.S., especially Louisiana (Ernst et al., 1994; Williams, 1999; Salzberg, 2000). Four inches or less is thought to be the size that a child can easily stuff into his mouth (Williams, 1999). The extensive use of antibiotics at turtle hatcheries in the U.S. has given rise to more antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella (Ernst et al., 1994). In many U.S. states T. s. elegans is the subject of specific regulation (Level, 1997). Nevertheless, undersized juvenile T. scripta are still commonly sold in pet stores in Florida, and as recently as 2002 they were sold by roadside venders at a busy intersection in Gainesville, Florida (Somma, personal observation). The European Union has banned the import of T. s. elegans because of the negative impact that released pets can have on native European pond turtles ( Emys orbicularis species complex) (Williams, 1999).
