Turtles are great pets if you want a new pal that won't require too much time and energy, at least as far as red-eared sliders are concerned. Red-eared slider turtles are not just adorable with their two red streaks, but are one of the easier reptiles to own. Feed them a good mix of turtle food, fresh greens, and live food, and just keep them in a large tank with water, a dry place for stretching out, and a reptile heat lamp. Just give your red-eared slider the proper care, and you'll have many, many years of cute antics to look forward to.
