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.**

    Garden Pond Size Red Eared Slider

    Posted by Tammy Parsons on May 9th 2025

    My girl arrived alert and healthy. She is such a big girl and her name is Elphaba (Elfie). She is loving her new pond home. I couldn't be happier with her!

    Red Eared Slider Hatchling

    Posted by Jason on Mar 13th 2025

    The hatchling RES arrived healthy and was immediately active when put in the tank. It ate and was basking the same day it arrived. Packaging for shipment was top notch. The turtle was shipped in a well insulated box with a heating pack, and plenty of air holes. The box also said live animals, so the handlers knew. I would recommend the turtle source to anyone looking. Overall it has been a very positive experience.
