How long can a slider turtle breath out of water?
They have lungs and breath air, not gills. They can do fine out of water. However, they only eat in the water, since the water helps them swallow. Now, sliders prefer the water and may not necessarily enjoy being taken out, so if you do, I wouldn't keep them out too long so they don't get stressed.
Reply:They breath air. They walk on land.
Reply:turtles can breath out of the water as long as they want. you can take your turtle out and have it walk around. some people let their turtles walk around outside. if you take your turtle out, don't leave them out long.
Reply:It can breathe out of water as well as you can. However, that doesn't mean that it is comfortable outside its tank on the floor. Make sure that it has a place in its tank to get out of the water to bask. Handle it as little as possible. If you want something to walk around on the floor, get a robot. Turtles are not playthings.
