A Pet Lover’s Favorite – Red Eared Slider Turtle
By Dog Lover | August 19, 2009
As you may have already guessed, the Red Eared Slider Turtle has derived its name from its bright scarlet ears which are its distinguishing features and set it apart from its other “slider” cousins. There are many reasons why the red eared slider turtle is the most popular pick among pet turtles.
It is pretty tame and mild-mannered in captivity, has a tolerant nature, can adapt to a variety of conditions, lives for very long periods, has very modest demands, is slow-moving, calm natured, quiet and pretty hardy if you provide it with its appropriate natural habitat.
It is a fresh water turtle species which happens to be a prolific breeder. Its several eye-catching lovely morphs are leucistic, pastel and albino.
Leopard geckos are great for your first gecko as they are the most popular, inexpensive and very adaptable. Many people choose a leopard gecko as their first pet gecko.

Like most other turtles, the Red Eared Slider Turtle has been named by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, it is at lower risk of extinction than the Olive Ridley species of turtle that is highly endangered.
Some large and exotic geckos can cost up to 3000$. Wow! 3000$, I think I would rather get that new HD TV instead!
A pet gecko may live as long as twenty years and the longest recorded life span of a pet gecko is twenty seven and a half years.
These colorful pets provide a nice addition to a sitting room and provide a great conversation piece. They are called dinosaurs in small packages by some. Geckos eat mostly insects and actually live very well right along with people when those people will let them.
Geckos live in many different warm climates across the globe which will dictate the kind of habitat that will be required to house one in your favorite room.
If you decide to get a pet gecko make sure to do the necessary basic research into how to purchase, set up, and care for one. They really are cool little creatures that add color and life to any room. Some geckos are very beautiful to look at with multiple color combination’s which help them to blend into their surroundings
