Red-Eared Sliders (Animal Planet Pet Care Library)

Great book. Very informative.

A high quality, educational resource for anyone who needs to learn more about Red-eared Sliders.

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.

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.

This is a very informative book. My son wanted a red eared slider for his birthday so I got this book for him to read. He read it and wanted a red eared slider even more. He takes good care of his turtle and this book helped him learn not only about them, but also how to care for them.

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!
