The Red Ear Slider Turtle get it's name from the distinctive red mark around his ears and they slid off rocks and logs very quickly. They are almost entirely aquatic but they leave the water to bask in the sun or to lay eggs. They are aware of people and usually shy away from them. This turtle is a great pet and is very frendly. He does not play about his food. Did you know that thay do not have saliva glands? This means they must eat in water?
