More information

Red-eared slider Turtle

• The red-eared slider or red-eared terrapin is a subspecies of the pond slider, a semiaquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States, is also popular as a pet across the rest of the world, and is the most invasive turtle. 

Scientific name: Trachemys scripta elegans

Length: 15 – 30 cm (Adult)

Family: Emydidae

Kingdom: Animalia

Order: Testudines

Phylum: Chordata

• The Red-eared Slider Turtle is an American species which is illegal to keep in Australia as it has become an invasive feral pest in several states. It is important to prevent this species spreading through the Murray-Darling Basin. Other related species are also illegal.

• Identifying A Male Red Eared Slider

Male sliders tend to be smaller than females, but this is not a reliable way to tell the gender of a single turtle. In addition to the thicker and longer tail, male sliders also have a longer distance between the tail and the cloaca. Male sliders can also be distinguished by the concave bottom shell. This shell is curved inward in males to make mounting a female easier.

The male red-eared slider also has longer front claws unless they are damaged by inadequate living conditions. Short claws on a male slider are an indicator that the turtle is underdeveloped.

• Identifying A Female Red Eared Slider

In addition to being larger than male sliders, females have a much thinner and shorter tail. Female sliders have little to no distance between the tail and cloaca and do not have concave bottom shells. The bottom shell on a female slider is either flat or curves outward,

• Male vs Female Sliders: Differences In Behavior

Solitary red-eared sliders do not display noticeably different behavior and most owners do not prefer one gender over the other. However, when kept in the same enclosure or in the wild, male, and female sliders have different behavior patterns. Female sliders tend to pay little attention to another female, as there is no competition for mating. Male sliders will challenge or fight each other during mating season and are very territorial toward other males. Males also perform a mating dance using their long claws.
