Product Description
A very brilliantly colored phase of the Red Eared Slider; as their name implies, Rio Grande Red Ears originally come from the same South Texas water ways that produce several different very beautiful color phases of turtles. Even as adults, Rio Grandes maintain a very distinctly vibrant coloration that brightens up any turtle colony. Juveniles make very good starter turtles, they do well in tanks, and most set ups that have lots of water.
Rio Grande Red Ears behave essentially the same as normal Red Ears. They love to bask, and will even pile on top of each other for the best sunning position. In community set ups, it's often their example that quickens other species' taming down. Red Ears are omnivorous, eating pellets, most greens, insects, fish, mollusks etc.

Baby Rio Grande Turtle
The ordering of the turtle was easy and customer friendly. I really liked the website and ordering process. The prices were very reasonable and the overnight shipping was wonderful. I received the turtles the very next day in great packaging and in good health. There was also and unexpected large bag of food. My overall experience was wonderful I would recommend buying from this company without hesitation.

Great Experience
We had promised our daughter a pet turtle for her birthday then we were unable to purchase one in our state. We turned to the turtle source and they delivered the sweetest baby turtle to our door - he arrived safe and sound and makes a great pet!
