Where can you buy baby red eared sliders? and tanks and other related items? thanks?

The pet stores aren't carrying the turtles; but tanks, food and whatever else you can imagine can be bought at Petsmart or Petco.


The turtles have been showing up at flea markets for some odd reason. I've seen 20 or 30 dealers this summer selling baby turtles and a plastic bowl with a plastic palm tree for about $5.

A 20 gallon tank is the absolutely minimum for a Red Eared Slider. You can by tanks anywhere...at pet stores, WalMart, PetSmart, PetCo, and the list goes on. Also, though, you can go to www.lllreptile.com or www.glasscages.com or a variety of other reptile supply sites online to order a tank and any accessory you need for him.
Reply:last i heard, they have been outlawed. that might just be in Texas though, i'm not sure.
Reply:in many places, like petco or pet-smart. But the big tanks are somewhat expensive so i suggest getting only one and buying a medium tank at Wal*Mart or something.
Reply:you cant really get a baby red ear slider...they have to be 4" or bigger...anywhere around the place where you live you can get all the nesscay supplies
Reply:As a public health code law the stores can not sell a red ear slider baby turtle under 4 inches cause they carry salmonella.


That is why you see people selling them at flea markets or on the street, they are under 4 inches. The turtle can grow up to 14 inches and live to 40 years, the store should have the tank where you get the turtle, please get at least a 25 gallon tank cause they need 1/4 of land and 3/4 of water fill the tank about 8 inches high with water and try to buy or make a plastic divider for the tank so you can keep the dirt seperate from going into the water, get a filter too to keep the water clean cause the turtle going to the bathroom in the water causes salmonella if it is not cleaned


Good luck!.
Reply:Try craigslist.com for a Red-eared slider. There are so many poeple re-homing theirs!! You may even be able to buy their tank and accessories...
Reply:Try reptile auction as they have both reptiles and supplies.
Reply:Rather then buy one you should consider adopting. If you go on petfinder.com and look up turtles there are hundreds in need of good homes. Red eared sliders are very popular pets and people get them when they're little but when they get big no one wants them anymore. Please consider adoption first.
