If you’re planning to purchase a pet turtle like the Red-Eared Slider, make sure you prepare ahead of time in order to know what type habitat or living environment he will need. If you choose a Red-Eared Slider, research the breed ahead of time and talk to your local pet store associate to determine what kind of housing and care will be needed. For instance, contrary to popular belief, your Red-Eared Slider should have a tank that is at least 40 gallons. Turtles of all kinds do not stop growing when they reach a comfortable size for their tank. They grow regardless of how small or big their tank is. A 40 gallon tank will give your Red-Eared Slider adequate space. You will need to accessorize the tank as well. Your Red-Eared Slider will need a place to swim and a place to burrow or sunbathe. Talk to your veterinarian Sonoma County CA for more information.
