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.**

    Poor job done

    Posted by First time buyer on Dec 5th 2024

    I didnt mind the delivery being delayed. I would of like a better notifying system because the last update i had was saying it was nearby at 11 am then nothing til the next day. However, poor job shipping the turtles. The hatchlings came in a small little box, no heat source or anything. They seemed very dehydrated and ill looking. Then after being late they were left at the door, in the cold and you don't have to sign for them though it's a live animal. By the time I seen them on the ring camera the wind took them to the end of the driveway. Hopefully these poor hatchlings will be ok and happy. Felt like I ordered from an unprofessional turtle mill.

    Red ear slider baby

    Posted by Joey on Nov 7th 2024

    I could not be happier with this company. I had purchased a baby and it passed away about three weeks after having it seemed really sluggish. Didn’t want to eat just didn’t seem Healthy when we first got it . Contacted them explained how he had passed away very friendly people. She explained to me that it was past my seven day return. But I seemed like an honest person. All I had to do was pay shipping. I received the turtle or I should say turtles. I received two highly energetic very fast, healthy cute babies Thank you for everything
