General Care Discussion :: A Simple Question For All Red Eared Slider Owners

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2010 8:07 am   A Simple Question For All Red Eared Slider Owners

For All Red Eared Slider Owners:
(This Is For Personal Research On Red Eared Sliders)

For those who own adult red eared slider(s), do you house them with any other species of turtle besides another type of slider? If yes, what is the species of the other turtle and have you ever seen it flutter at or bite at the other turtle? Please answer last question for each red eared slider you own due to the fact one might flutter but other RES dont.

I willl start.
4 Red Eared Sliders- Housed With Diamondback Terrapins. All 4 have never fluttered or bit at the diamondbacks.

i have one male res, and he is more than happy being alone. How ever he attacks large fish and when he wasa hatchling he had a little toy turtle that he would abuse.

1 female, 1 male RES currently being kept apart. The male RES fluttered and eventually started biting. He would even bite when they were outside on the lawn :(
