The red stripe on a red eared slider turtle isn't actually on it's ear in fact it's ears are just slits on it's head!
Because of predators and water tempreature in the wild a RES (red eared slider) can only live for about 20 years.
Red eared sliders are omnivores
Adult red eared sliders can spend up to 10 days with out food and can stay on land for 4 days!
Red eared sliders need water to swallow
A red eared slider turtle can kill goldfish and even a small cat or dog!
A red eared slider turtle has no gills but can holds it's breath for a good hour while awake, and for about 5 hours when sleeping.
A red eared slider turtle can stay on land for ages because it has lungs like us but cannot swallow without water, so you wouldn't ask "how long can a RES go without water?" you would ask "how long can a RES go without food?" (I would only recommend 2-4 days on land max).
