Red-Eared Sliders (Animal Planet Pet Care Library)

I bought this for my daughter and she really liked it said it was very informative.

Most pet care books are really basic and barely touch the surface about your pet. Sometimes they are so vague that it becomes gamble as to whether or not a the owner is doing the right thing. I own two red ear sliders and I bought a few pet guides on them. This book is my third one and most up to date (2010). After reading it, I'd say this is the best one so far. The author goes into excellent detail on all topics she covers (feeding, tank size, diseaes etc). She stays with the topic and takes great strides to not "gloss over". The result a useful instructional guide to keeping and raising sliders. Most pet guides are relatively short (say under 50 pages). This one is over 100 pages. If you purchase this one it might save you the effort I took to find a good guide (and money). The publisher TFH has been doing pet guides for years and a lot of them are of little value. This one, which is part of the Animal Planet series is one of TFH's excellent publications.

If you are a first time owner of a Red-eared slider turtle and have no idea of where to start, this is the book for you. This book will tell you from enclosures, to feeding, and a lot of other things in between on how to care for your turtle. Book is well written and tells you in plain language what you need to know.

Been keeping Red-Eared Sliders for three years now. Just had one of them come down with an eye infection that required two months of nursing and tube feeding to get him back healthy. Picked up this book to learn more about care/feeding/breeding. Has alot of useful information, paired with some interesting and at times scary photos of some sick turtles. Overall, good read and proved fairly informative.

This was a VERY informative book that covered not just Red-Eared Sliders but have many facts and details on other species and subspecies. If you love turtles and especially if you love, Red-Eared Sliders you won’t be disappointed with this. This has helped me with taking care of and getting to know my RES turtles and I am thankful.

Perfect book for a first time owner of a red eared slider. Answered every question from what to feed it, how often, how big a living space it needs, how much light, everything. So glad we got this for my daughter in anticipation of her new pet. Full color, so many photos!

My nephew was getting this turtle for Christmas, so the book was extremely helpful. He’d already done a lot of research online, but the book was something he could take with him wherever he goes!

The book was very informative and filled in a lot of info that I didn't know. I have three Red-eared sliders to the more info the better. It is well written and answered a lot of questions I had.
