| Red-Eared Sliders are said to be one of the most popular pet turtles of all time. A Red-Eared Slider has red streaks on both sides of its head, which would mark its ears, if it had any. Red-Eared Sliders have hard shells. They are sold in pet shops. I own a Red-Eared that I got from a friend of my Mom`s. Red-Eared Sliders are both land and water turtles. Red-Eared Sliders live about 30 years. They live anywhere from the Mississippi Valley to Illinois to Mexico. Their claws/nails can be very long if they are allowed grow. My turtle's nails are probably an inch long. Along with this brief summary, I have made a 7-day observation of Slider, my pet turtle. I have recorded what seem to be his hobbies, what he hates to do or get, as well as other information. |

| Of the things Slider ate, he preferred pellets. |
| Slider hates getting stuck between the filters and the glass. He also hates falling off his rock and landing on his back. "Help I'm a turtle, and I can't get up!". |
| Slider goes to sleep at 8:30 PM. |
