Description

The albino red eared slider  belongs to the order Testudines, which contains about 250 turtle species. It is a subspecies of Trachemys scripta.

It was previously classified under the name Chrysemys scripta elegans. Trachemys scripta contains three subspecies: T. s. elegans (red-eared slider), T. s. scripta (yellow-bellied slider), and T. s. troostii (Cumberland slider).

The albino red eared slider for sale originated from the area around the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, in warm climates in the Southeastern United States. Their native areas range from the southeast of Colorado to Virginia and Florida. In nature, they inhabit areas with a source of still, warm water, such as ponds, lakes, swamps, creeks, streams, or slow-flowing rivers.

They live in areas of calm water, where they are able to leave the water easily by climbing onto rocks or tree trunks so they can warm up in the sun. Individuals are often found sunbathing in a group or even on top of each other.

They also require abundant aquatic plants, as these are the adults’ main food, although they are omnivores.

Turtles in the wild always remain close to water unless they are searching for a new habitat or when females leave the water to lay their eggs.
