WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY A TURTLE!! - YouTubes OLDEST Turtle

[@aquarium.talktv]

Hey everyone! Check the description. I am aware it’s a female red eared slider. I know fish, but I am learning reptiles 😂. Thanks everyone for the love and support.

[@cat0816]

is it still alive

[@vaughnmild7563]

My Mother Was born in 1949. She bought a quarter sized turtle from a dime store in Chicago at age 5. My Mother turned 72 this past December. She STILL has her turtle! It's a male River Cooter named Freddy. It's incredible story and people are always blown away how long she's had him

[@aquarium.talktv]

Wow!! Wild. That’s an incredible story. Here I thought my turtle was old!!

[@Goldgazzelle]

You should record her talking about him

My red-eared slider of 30 years just passed away last month. It was a big loss for me but I'm glad of the time I got to spend with him from childhood right up to adulthood.

[@DragonLfh]

Sad story for turtle fans :(

[@jeanalzaidi908]

im so sorry for your loss that's what I'm afraid of about our 34-year-old turtle raphael,

[@tyronemourinho3449]

Thanks guys. Just appreciate the time you have with your turtle right now while he's here with you.

[@BloodShotEyez420]

I have a red eared slider since I was 5 I'm about to be 44 .she's still alive and doing well❤

[@PaulKreps-v8k]

I got my slider when I was 8 years old. Today I am 75 close to 76. My turtle is 67 going on 68 with no end in sight. In the summer in Pennsylvania he is in a 2 foot tall 300 gallon tank outside with a waterfall and a closed off basking area he can climb to. He spends a lot of time basking and swimming under the waterfall. In the winter we move him to a 2 foot high 100 gallon tank with a heater at 82 degrees and a basking area with an utraviolet heat lamp at 92 degrees. Henry is very active, very fast and if you approach his summer basking area without calling his name he'll dive off the basking area splashing into the water. The thing I have concern about is where will he live next with the proper care. I currently have 2 options!

[@BkNy02]

Wow! Same. Mine's Lasted 18 years. I went through puberty, graduated HS and College, got my first job, first apartment, he was there for all that. I'm not going to lie, near the end I got really tired of taking care of him and his bites. But never once did I think to release him or neglect him. He was my responsibility, I'm the one who chose him. So yeah I told to my coworkers to check the lifespan of any pet they choose for their kids.

[@aquarium.talktv]

I love it.

[@r.massattack4052]

Great story. I have had my Red Ear slider 18 years now. It was given to my daughter as a gift from a friend who is no longer with us for her 1st birthday. My daughter is 19 now. My turtles name is Turd and even when my kids grew up I just could not let him go. I have a younger daughter that is 5 now and she loves him. She feeds him, helps clean the tank, etc. I feed my guy fresh gold fish once a month cuz he really likes the chase, he plays with a ping pong ball that floats around. My guy is about 7 inches round and in Great health. I have him in a 90 gallon tank. I know your turtle is much older but how did he get so big? I was told that mine will only get to be about 6 1/2 inches round.

[@aquarium.talktv]

They get huge man.

[@shady4chi]

Beautiful red ear he looks nice and healthy. My red ear is a male and turns 31 this September 😆. He’s still so active and love’s to bask on him rock while letting his legs and tail hang in the water. I have seen some male’s with female traits but honestly yours really does have all the female traits. The wide neck plus his jaw is more defined, shorter tail that starts thick then gets skinny towards the end and the short claws. Not to mention from this angle he look’s like a tank 😂. Either way sweet turtle.

[@bryanwong1766]

I'm 24 now and I have 2 female ear slider and they are 16 years old. Kinda amazing that these 2 little dudes witness me grow from a kid to an adult. They are quite clever in a sense that they will beg me and my mom pretending that we haven't feed them yet. Luckily we use pill organisers so we knew how much we actually fed them. God they are good actors

[@pbzeppelin6167]

I adopted one from a friend and he's at least 20 years old. Great pet, was surprised by how much personality and attachment I found. His shell is really dark compared to what I see in pictures or youtube, so I was wondering if that was normal for older turtles or if I needed to work on his diet. Beautiful and majestic animals. Fun to watch them float around like the Nirvana baby with their legs out, very relaxing

[@piotrscorpii3983]

Hi, males of this species are getting very dark as they age producing lots of melanin in their skin and shell. My male was almost black in colour while chuchlings are usually very green with beautiful patterns.

[@soyicasweet99]

I have had my red-eared slider since she was born. She’s has been with me 1 year 1/2. I never knew they good be such great pets. She follows us in her tank all off the time . She loves my husband because he plays with her a lot so she gets excited when he comes in . I just showed her this video and she loves your turtle. She got so excited . Her name is Singer .

We adopted my red eared slider Arthur in 2007- we think he is aged between 2 to 4 years from that year, now it is 2023 and he is about 18-20 years old! Here's to hoping he lives a long life after researching proper turtle care ❤ 🐢

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

My mom bought my little brother a turtle even though he didn’t want one. Then my sister took over his care because I was too scared of him. But then she moved out so I was left to care for him. I don’t even remember how old he is, probably 10 years old. I recently began building him an outdoor habitat because he’s too big for his aquarium. It’s still in the beginning stages but I’m so excited to have him explore his own space. I will bring him in for extreme weather but I just know he needs his space. He’s super chill and responds to me tapping my leg when he’s outside. lol his name is Leonardo (yep, big TMNT fan here too)

I work at a golf course in California and we have a huge pond with TONS of read eared sliders living in it. My story is similar to yours I’m almost 31 and have had a tortoise since I was 3. We’re both 30. My girlfriend and I just bought 2 baby sliders, and albino read eared and a western painted slider both the size of a US quarter. Awesome animals and this video was very cool to watch and see how big these guys live and how long they live. Cheers from California

I have one that is around 12 years old named Squirtle. The turtle itself is easy to take care of, the chore comes in changing the water, moving the tank around, and affording the size tank, heat lamps, and filters you will need. They are very hardy, but do appreciate variety of foods. I rotate through three different kinds of foods, and supplement with veggies and fruit, and the occasional earthworm or small bites of chicken or beef.

I've had a red eared slider for 19 years, I used to feed it veggies and pellets mostly and I thought it was a male, but about 6 years ago I went on a carnivore diet and I started feeding the turtle only raw beef (because that's what I had), and then I found out it's a female because she's been laying eggs every summer since going on a meat diet (which also tells me this diet is more healthy for her than veggies and pellets. She used to be ravenous all the time before, but now she gets full from meat and can go for a day or two without food and without begging me to feed her wheneve she sees me like she used to before). She's very healthy and well behaved. I keep it outside and it fasts all winter, I bring it inside if it snows heavily but that's very rare where I live.

[@madamhill2121]

I just burried my red slider turtle.We got her when she was 1 week old and a quarter in size. She lasted with us for 28 years. She was a great turtle. She would of lasted more but she caught pheumonia. If you are planning on getting one, They need large tank to move in and a basking bridge and basking light to heat them and the light to help their shell to absorb vitamin D. Because they are not outdoors in the sun, they need these special lamps. Zoomeds is the best turtle pellet food for them cause it has vitamin D3 and calcium for their shell Whereas the other foods don't. Make sure it says vitamin D3 this vitamin is vital in their diet. Make sure their water tank has a warm water heater thermometer because they need warm water all the time or else they go into hybernation mode and wont eat and they get sick with pheumonia. That is what happened to mine. I hope this infomation helps.❤

I have 3 sliders, 2 belize and 1 red eared slider all a year old. your comments help me figure out their sex finally lol. Also very interesting to see their full size. Gotta start saving for that mega tank lol. mine were also like the size out a big coin, now 6 inches.

I have mine in a large stock tank now. Cheaper. Can get them from your local tractor supply. Best option in my opinion.

I would love updates on this as I am planing to get one of these very soon I would love to know your basic knowledge of how and what you kept him in over the years I love the fact of how long you have kept him

I have a 22 year old red eared slider turtle I’ve had since I was 18, I’m 40 now and he’s super tiny and stopped growing a long time ago but his vet says he’s totally healthy and fine

[@aquarium.talktv]

That’s awesome!!! So nice to see people keeping their turtles.

I am far from judging, but i think she is a bit too fat! Anyhow, you probably know better, since you managed to keep her for 31 years, it's just my observation, but it may be alright! My Redslider unfortunately died outside in the pond, which was absolutely heartbreaking, because i LOOOVED it and still love the species! Your advice is very valuable since many just underestimate how big they can become! Great job for having her for so long and i am pretty sure you love her a lot and I am glad she had such a livetime already! Very nice animal

Got my red-eared slider 18 years ago! His name is Carlito. He was a present for my 5-year old grandson who is now 23. When I bought him, he was the size of a quarter and so cute! I was so excited about giving them (there were 2) to my 2 oldest grandsons, that I forgot to see if it was ok for them to have a pet! Naturally, they could not! So I ended up getting 2 unexpected pets to take care of. Could not take them back to the kiosk where I purchased them and ALL of the things turtles need. My 16 year old daughter was so convincing in getting me to buy everything, that they offered her a job selling turtles and turtle paraphernalia! Unfortunately, one of the little turtles passed away. So I've had one, Carlito, ever since. I'm about to get him a larger tank and change his environment. He's about 8 -10 inches. Any ideas?

We have red eared sliders here in ny they actually survive the winter they go down into brumation and come out in the summer they’re very sturdy animals like little tanks lol I have been raising two for 10 years aswell

[@aquarium.talktv]

Yeah they are adapting and it’s wild. Thanks for watching the video by the way!
