Product Description

Albino Red Eared Sliders are one of the most striking of all turtles to keep. One in a million, their survival in the wild is almost impossible. Luckily a few breeders, produce them for keepers to appreciate and enjoy. Albino Red Eared Sliders are one of the few turtles that actually are hatched for gender by temperature. Ours are past the difficult early stages and well started. Albinos Red Ears behave the same as normal Red Eared Sliders, and they otherwise have the same husbandry requirements which follow:

The most common turtle available the world over, Red Eared Sliders make excellent starter turtles, and adults will brighten up outdoor ponds in nearly all US temperature zones. They do well in tanks, water and land setups, and when kept with most other species.

They bask frequently, and will even pile on top of each other for the best sunning position. In community set ups, it's often the red ears example that quickens other species taming down. Red ears are omnivorous, eating pellets, most greens, insects, fish, mollusks etc.

*Please note that Virginia and Florida do not allow Red Eared Sliders to be possessed by the public - so we are not able to ship normal colored Red Eared Sliders to those states. Florida does have a special exception for the different color morphs including: Ghost Red Ears, Albino Red Ears and Hypo/Pastel Red Ears; all of which can be shipped to Florida destinations.

    I have several other turtles in the tank with my two turtles that suddenly died, and all of them are doing well, except for the two that I received from this company. With that being said, it’s just very suspicious that they’re the ones with the sudden death and all of my other turtles are doing well.

    Sudden death and a random growth on his tail

    Posted by AF on May 6th 2025

    When we received our turtle, he was perfectly fine upon inspection and we cared for him properly. He was growing at the same rate as the other turtles that I got, they were all the same size except for my eastern painted turtle who stopped growing and never grew over a few centimeters. But that’s in a different review. My albino red slider was doing perfectly fine until I woke up the next morning to see that he was belly up, and there is a random new growth on his tail. He was active the night before, completely fine, eating… everything that appeared as a completely healthy turtle. So to wake up and find that he’s no longer here with us has completely broken my heart. We cared for him properly and did everything that we could’ve done. He was thriving, healthy, completely fine. My only issues as he was growing was he was extremely blind. And I mean extremely where he could not see anything in front of him and would miss food when trying to eat. But when I noticed this, months ago, I made sure that he ate enough before I would walk away from the tank. I even had to put food directly in front of him. I have no idea what happened and the sudden death of two of my turtles from this company has led me to believe it might be a them problem. I had problems with their delivery when I first received them, and it was a bit of a fuss. I got them a few days late, and the shipping time was off. I hate to think that this company would intentionally give me sick or unwell turtles out of spite, but I just don’t know. Two turtles with sudden death just doesn’t sit right with me.

    My turtle came later than the day I asked but that was just because it was too hot to mail it so I chose another day and it came in only two days it is real and I love my turtle so much it's so tiny and cute I highly recommend this site and I will definitely use by from here again.

I actually purchased the wrong one and then emailed them about it and they stopped the incorrect order that I put in and actually got me exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be more happy with the turtle that I got.
