Publisher's Synopsis
The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) is one of the most popular pet turtles. These turtles, with their striking red stripes down the sides of their heads and their gregarious yet autonomous demeanor, are popular among both rookie and experienced reptile keepers. Originally from the southeastern United States, they have become an emblem of freshwater turtles. Their ability to adapt to a variety of environments has allowed them to thrive in captivity and in the wild in many parts of the world.
In this book, we'll look at what makes red-eared sliders unique and analyze their natural habitat, so you may better understand their needs as a pet owner.
