RE: An Urgent Message To All Red-Eared Slider Enthusiasts!
Dear Fellow Red-Eared Slider Friend,
Did you acquire your Red-Eared Slider with no intention of researching the animal and following up on instructions from the pet shop?
Were you under the impression that the Red-Eared Slider is an inexpensive pet?
Well, guess what…
You Are SO WRONG!
Okay, I will admit it – I LOVE Red-Eared Sliders! I have owned and bred these wonderful creatures for a great number of years. In fact, I am one of the most renowned experts on these beautiful semiaquatic turtles.
Unfortunately, not everyone who purchases a Red-Eared Slider has the same level of expertise as me and other authorities on this particular reptile. All too often, an inexperienced patron will wonder into a pet store and purchase a Red-Eared Slider because it looks cool and easy to handle.
Many people believe that they are buying an animal that will be no more difficult to take care of than a goldfish. These people will inevitably make horrible mistakes that can seriously endanger the well-being of their cherished Red-Eared Slider.
In order to fully understand the reason Red-Eared Sliders require such special care and attention, it is important to learn as much about them as possible, starting with their origin. Turtles are one of the oldest living animals on the planet, existing for millions and millions of years!
Red-Eared Sliders Are Among
The Most Recognizable Creatures On Earth!
The natural habitat of the Red-Eared Slider is on the bottom of streams, rivers, ponds and lakes, dining on mealworms, crickets, crayfish, flies, tadpoles and dragonflies. In addition, the Red-Eared Slider is quite the sun lover.
Now, just imagine tearing a Red-Eared Slider from its natural habitat in a large lake or pond, where the temperature is just right… and moving them to…
A Bowl In Your Living Room!
Unless you happen to live on the bottom of a large body of water, I doubt your living room has the same conditions as the Red-Eared Slider’s natural habitat.This means that you have to create an artificial environment that is similar to their natural habitat.
It is not as simple as filling and aquarium with water and adding a few rocks!
This is where the trouble starts! Most people not only have no idea how to mimic the natural habitat of the Red-Eared Slider, but also do not realize the expense that is involved. When you factor in all of the necessary equipment and supplies, raising your very own Red-Eared Slider can become quite an expensive pastime.
Fortunately, over the years as an owner and breeder of Red-Eared Sliders, I have worked out several tricks and shortcuts that I am willing to share with you, so you can save money, and perhaps your turtle’s life! Are you ready to learn how to create a top-notch, comfortable environment for your Red-Eared Slider?
If you have been considering obtaining a Red-Eared Slider for a while now, you will agree that there are m
