Product Description

Countless requests for juvenile Red Eared Sliders have inspired us to make this species available in the highest quality possible. We hatch & hand raise Red Ears to pond size for our customers all the time - now we're making juveniles and yearlings available at a most affordable price - remember, the shipping charge is the same for 1 to 6 of all our small sized turtles. (Mix and match as you like)

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 U.S 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 quicken other species taming down. Red Ears are omnivorous, eating pellets, most greens, insects, fish, mollusks etc.

**Please Note: Red Eared Sliders are not allowed to be shipped to Virginia, Oregon or Florida. Rarer color morphs of Red Eared Sliders, such as Albino Red Ears, Pastel Red Ears, Hypo Red Ears, Hypo Translucent and Ghost Red Ears are permitted to be shipped to Florida. Please contact us if you have any questions - Thank you.**

    Quality Service at it's finest

    Posted by Eala Chogyoji on Jan 29th 2025

    I purchased a Red Ear Slider hatching from The Turtle Source a few weeks ago. The day after I placed the order, I received an email from them stating that the weather conditions were not good to ship our new friend. They told me they would be in touch when the conditions were good. They watched the temps, kept in touch and yesterday,cee received a happy,healthy baby turtle. He is happy in his new habitat. I highly recommend 'The Turtle Source!'

    The turtle came in good health and a good size, not small, and with it a big bag of food. I will buy some other types with this turtle.

    Red ear Slider

    Posted by Pebbles Samara Gilmore on Dec 22nd 2024

    I got My Son his first Turtle (Red Ear Slider). He came when expected the packaging was extra secure with a bag of food to start you off., our little Hatchlings is fitting in real nice with my son. The turtle is starting to trust my son a lot more. I definitely would buy another Cute Hatchlings from you guys again..
