Red Eared Slider history
The Red Eared Slider can be found in the United States in Mississippi, Alabama, New Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, and Indiana. Red Eared Sliders have also been introduced into the wild in places such as California, where unprepared and irresponsible owners have essentially dumped them in local water areas. The Red Eared Slider is a freshwater Turtle, and can be found near lakes and ponds. If you would like to save a cast-off Red Eared Slider, this can be easily done in many areas through animal rescue and adoption organizations that are concerned with the well being of this wonderful animal.
