I talk about my Red Eared Slider Turtle that I’ve had since I was 2 years old that my Father purchased for me. This is KZbin’s OLDEST Pet Turtle.
NOTE: I know it’s a girl. Thanks to you awesome viewers I was able to ensure and double check the sex. 2 vets said male throughout its life and I took the turtle to a reptile vet locally and she assured me Ninja is a FEMALE!
Thanks again.

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,

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

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

[@user-po5jk7xe9z]

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.

[@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

[@kit2130]

Mine (his name is Hermel) is only a year old this month, saved him from the pool. I’m 55, so I’ll need to put it in my will lol. Then I just found an itty bitty teensie tiny a couple days ago, on the pool cover being tossed around in rain water from the wind. I hope to find it a home but it’s soooo cute!

[@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.

[@TurtleRhythm]

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 ❤ 🐢

[@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.

[@worldlife9834]

My red ear sliders just passed 12 years old. They are extremely relaxed around people. Their main diet is pellets, dried shrimp and a little bit of watermelon. I live in Hong Kong

[@soyicasweet99]

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

[@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)

[@aquarium.talktv]

Ayyyyy!!! Love it

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.

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?
