Several species of side necked turtles have slender, elongated snouts. Among these is the Matamata (Chelys fimbriata) of Brazil and N South America.   The family Pelomedusidae includes two African genera, Pelomedusa and Pelusios. Members of the latter genus resemble the North American box turtles, with a hinged shell. A third genus, Podocnemis, is found in rivers of South America and Madagascar. Side-necked turtles are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Reptilia, order Chelonia.

Slider Turtles

The most popular pet water turtle in the USA, the red ear slider has a long history in the pet trade, and it has been kept for many years by a wide variety of hobbyists, both beginner turtle keepers as well as those who are experienced in keeping dwarf turtles for sale.  As way back as 1960, Slider turtles for sale were sold in dime stores, and unfortunately many died due to a lack of knowledge of the children who begged their parents to buy them for them. Luckily, now that reptile enthusiasts are better educated, the red-eared slider has a better chance of survival in captivity, but it is a large turtle and should be kept only by people who are prepared to provide the proper care for it.

Red-eared sliders are very good swimmers spend most of their time in the water. They love to bask, too, and during warm, sunny days, wild red-ears love to stack on top of each other while doing so. The slightest movement or sound will send them sliding off their rocks or logs and back into the water—this, coupled with the red ear mark on both sides of their heads, gives them their common name of Slider Turtle. Pet red-eared slider turtles for sale can be very personable and will quickly learn to swim to you when they want to eat!
