Where Could You Find Red Ear Sliders?

The Red Ear Sliders are sliders which are most commonly sold in pet shops.

They can be found in the United States, east of the Rockies Mountains. They are fresh water turtles and spend much of their day basking in the sun on logs or rocks, or swimming in the warm waters of their native habitat. 

Their habitat can range from 'mud holes' of a few hundred litters in grassy ditches to empty looking farm ponds to streams, lakes and large rivers. The sliders like quiet waters with soft, muddy bottom,  lots of aquatic vegetation and good sites, ie: rocks, logs etc, to bask on.
