Otis the Yellow Belly Slider

[Tenochsun78]

I have a yellow bellied slider named Juliette and she is almost 2. They can get to be about 6-8" for male and 8-10" for female. So that means that when your turtle gets bigger you need at least a 55 gal which is what mine is in currently. The meal worms and lettuce are good for juvenile and adult turtles but when they're a hatchling like yours you also need some pellet food from your local pet store or even a Walmart. Get the stuff that says 'for hatchlings' on the side. Also make sure you have a basking lamp with an area for them to bask because they are basking turtles. They can live between 25-40 years so be prepared! Any other questions use google or my favorite turtle site is Austin's Turtles! Good luck!!

Austin's Turtle really good site!
