I talk about my Red Eared Slider Turtle that I’ve had since I was 2 years old that my Father purchased for me. This is RUclips’s OLDEST Pet Turtle.
NOTE: I know it’s a girl. Thanks to you awesome viewers I was able to ensure and double check the sex. 2 vets said male throughout its life and I took the turtle to a reptile vet locally and she assured me Ninja is a FEMALE!
Thanks again.

Hey everyone! Check the description. I am aware it’s a female red eared slider. I know fish, but I am learning reptiles 😂. Thanks everyone for the love and support.
is it still alive
My Mother Was born in 1949. She bought a quarter sized turtle from a dime store in Chicago at age 5. My Mother turned 72 this past December. She STILL has her turtle! It's a male River Cooter named Freddy. It's incredible story and people are always blown away how long she's had him
Wow!! Wild. That’s an incredible story. Here I thought my turtle was old!!
You should record her talking about him
he a girl I have 4 girls boys have really long front nail like Freddy cigar
Them little turtle will always be your baby they never forget the day thay meet u
Please record your grandma with her turtle
My red-eared slider of 30 years just passed away last month. It was a big loss for me but I'm glad of the time I got to spend with him from childhood right up to adulthood.
Sad story for turtle fans :(
im so sorry for your loss that's what I'm afraid of about our 34-year-old turtle raphael,
Thanks guys. Just appreciate the time you have with your turtle right now while he's here with you.
😢
I have a red eared slider since I was 5 I'm about to be 44 .she's still alive and doing well❤
Just want to say he’s a girl. If it was a male his nails would’ve been long. Also males don’t get that big
I’m realizing from the comments 🤣🤣🤣 a video is coming for that
They/Them now 😂
@@lunacardinal2271 lmfaoooooo
Lol mines a girl than ran
Female have nails to dig
I got my slider when I was 8 years old. Today I am 75 close to 76. My turtle is 67 going on 68 with no end in sight. In the summer in Pennsylvania he is in a 2 foot tall 300 gallon tank outside with a waterfall and a closed off basking area he can climb to. He spends a lot of time basking and swimming under the waterfall. In the winter we move him to a 2 foot high 100 gallon tank with a heater at 82 degrees and a basking area with an utraviolet heat lamp at 92 degrees. Henry is very active, very fast and if you approach his summer basking area without calling his name he'll dive off the basking area splashing into the water. The thing I have concern about is where will he live next with the proper care. I currently have 2 options!
Beautiful red ear he looks nice and healthy. My red ear is a male and turns 31 this September 😆. He’s still so active and love’s to bask on him rock while letting his legs and tail hang in the water. I have seen some male’s with female traits but honestly yours really does have all the female traits. The wide neck plus his jaw is more defined, shorter tail that starts thick then gets skinny towards the end and the short claws. Not to mention from this angle he look’s like a tank 😂. Either way sweet turtle.
Great story. I have had my Red Ear slider 18 years now. It was given to my daughter as a gift from a friend who is no longer with us for her 1st birthday. My daughter is 19 now. My turtles name is Turd and even when my kids grew up I just could not let him go. I have a younger daughter that is 5 now and she loves him. She feeds him, helps clean the tank, etc. I feed my guy fresh gold fish once a month cuz he really likes the chase, he plays with a ping pong ball that floats around. My guy is about 7 inches round and in Great health. I have him in a 90 gallon tank. I know your turtle is much older but how did he get so big? I was told that mine will only get to be about 6 1/2 inches round.
They get huge man.
Wow! Same. Mine's Lasted 18 years. I went through puberty, graduated HS and College, got my first job, first apartment, he was there for all that. I'm not going to lie, near the end I got really tired of taking care of him and his bites. But never once did I think to release him or neglect him. He was my responsibility, I'm the one who chose him. So yeah I told to my coworkers to check the lifespan of any pet they choose for their kids.
I love it.
I adopted one from a friend and he's at least 20 years old. Great pet, was surprised by how much personality and attachment I found. His shell is really dark compared to what I see in pictures or youtube, so I was wondering if that was normal for older turtles or if I needed to work on his diet.
Beautiful and majestic animals. Fun to watch them float around like the Nirvana baby with their legs out, very relaxing
Hi, males of this species are getting very dark as they age producing lots of melanin in their skin and shell. My male was almost black in colour while chuchlings are usually very green with beautiful patterns.
Mine (his name is Hermel) is only a year old this month, saved him from the pool. I’m 55, so I’ll need to put it in my will lol. Then I just found an itty bitty teensie tiny a couple days ago, on the pool cover being tossed around in rain water from the wind. I hope to find it a home but it’s soooo cute!
I have had my red-eared slider since she was born. She’s has been with me 1 year 1/2. I never knew they good be such great pets. She follows us in her tank all off the time . She loves my husband because he plays with her a lot so she gets excited when he comes in . I just showed her this video and she loves your turtle. She got so excited . Her name is Singer .
That’s amazing! You’re in for a long LONG life of fun and water changes lol.. Hi Singer!!!!
@@aquarium.talktv I know!!! Can’t wait . Singer says hello back
I'm 24 now and I have 2 female ear slider and they are 16 years old. Kinda amazing that these 2 little dudes witness me grow from a kid to an adult.
They are quite clever in a sense that they will beg me and my mom pretending that we haven't feed them yet. Luckily we use pill organisers so we knew how much we actually fed them. God they are good actors
OK. VIVA Earth And Water And Sea Tortoise./Turtle./Turtles 2020.-2021.-2022.-2023.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
My red ear sliders just passed 12 years old. They are extremely relaxed around people. Their main diet is pellets, dried shrimp and a little bit of watermelon. I live in Hong Kong
Mine is about 25...I would love to see Ninja's set. up!
Hello, I am from Saudi Arabia. I like your video💛. i’m like you. I bought one in 94 “Red eared slider“ and I still have it. in a pond in backyard . I hope one day she’s get over 40s💛
That is amazing!
We adopted my red eared slider Arthur in 2007- we think he is aged between 2 to 4 years from that year, now it is 2023 and he is about 18-20 years old! Here's to hoping he lives a long life after researching proper turtle care ❤ 🐢
I think my turtle is going in hibarnation. She is very sleepy and not eaten anything from last 10 days.
Anything you can say about that.?
I’d say more like brumation. Just make sure your water quality is very good. Nice warmer temp and leave her be.
My red eared slider is 34 years old and I'm 47 years old his name is grouchy pouch my slider will live forever I want to show you a picture mine still looks great he is great and very affectionate! I leave my slider out all day and only put him in his tank to eat for an hour or 2
Now that’s amazing!
i think ur buddy ninja is a female😳males usually don’t get that big
Check the pinned comment. I know he’s a she
I always think my turtle is soo heavy , then i weigh her and she is under two pounds.. big girl, but still not as heavy as they seem lol 25 years young she is !! Currently having hot girl summer enjoying her outdoor pool.
liked story of Ninja but let me tell you about Rex my redear slider he is. 21 years old n is around 11 I inches but his weight is what is I think is crazy and he is last time I just weighed him was when I was remolding my house and I then decided that Rex would have to be taken out to the yard and build him a Pond he was at that point 10..4 lbs yup that’s Rex I’m really trying to figure out if I can get a friend or a female partner at this age what do you know about this situation or if anyone can get me out with this question please please let me know
Wow I just got a baby 2 days ago, I’m so excited after seeing this, mine is so so small just a little baby, he is the size of a half dollar coin in American money
i've had for my dog since i was 12! i turn 28 in february!
we have a 55 year old RES in our family. My personal RES is 19.
That’s amazing!! Wow.
Love this video. I'm from Ontario as well and me and my dad have three toed box turtles his is almost 60 and mine is 30 years old. We had them most of their life's. Keep posting! Turtle care info is hard to find
Hey! Awesome! 60 and 30?! Wow.. that is definitely old.
I plan on doing some more videos with my Turtle in the near future. Thanks for the support and subscribing!
Daily water change prevents fasting
Your turtle look like a female turtle to me not a male . I have 2 turtles and my female looks exactly like yours . While the female had short claws and tail and male had longer craws and tail . I love the way you and your family treat the turtle . Some people don’t treat them right and it s so sad . In my home the two turtles are the center of my universe. That much they mean to me for all the joy and happiness they bring into my life . I have my turtle about 11 years but I got them when they already about 10 . I hope they will live forever with me or at least 40 more years . I heard if we take good care of them they can live up to 60 years . I hope this is true . You made me laugh when you said you brought the turtle to school with you and now your kids play with them . How fantastic that is . 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was thinking the same... between the size, the claws, the tail, and the coloring of the shell Ninja definitely looks more female than male.
@@LastCallAgain thanks so much for a very open respond . My best wishes to you and your super loving turtle
I have a female red eared slider not sure of her age she's fully grown I also have a male he's around 2 years old I'm hoping for babies soon
I am far from judging, but i think she is a bit too fat! Anyhow, you probably know better, since you managed to keep her for 31 years, it's just my observation, but it may be alright! My Redslider unfortunately died outside in the pond, which was absolutely heartbreaking, because i LOOOVED it and still love the species! Your advice is very valuable since many just underestimate how big they can become!
Great job for having her for so long and i am pretty sure you love her a lot and I am glad she had such a livetime already! Very nice animal
Hey I have two baby turtles and have no idea how to take care of them if u can give me a few tips pls
Mine is 21 years old i wish i can send you a video of my slider turtle
Long life ninja with bless of lord❤
If anyone wants one of these, get a tortoise instead. They are so much easier to take care of. I have had a Russian tort for 16 years. She literally is like a dog. No dealing with water which is the biggest issue. I feel like these turtles do best in a pond.
very awesome Turtle 😮😮
Man that’s crazy bro you had that turtle ever since she was 2 what a blessing 31⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Here in New Jersey ponds freeze and red-eared sliders hibernate but I don't know if they call it that I know that they slow down their metabolism and they sleep for the winter months and barely eat or move around if I let the tank get cold in the winter months mine will pick a corner of the tank and just sleep until the water gets warmer believe it or not look it up I got mine from a pond where these Turtles would survive below zero temperatures they're all over New Jersey and it gets cold here Turtles are a pain in the ass when it comes to cleanliness I change my water daily even though I have two fully submersible Fluval 3 filters and they are amazing but I still change the water because I have it set set up so that I have a hose running out the dirty water making everything much more easily I don't have to carry buckets anymore one of these days I'll put up a video of Mine by the way that is not a boy if it was a boy it would have long nails and it would have an indent on the bottom part of the carapace so that he could Mount the female the females carapace is flat on the bottom side and she has shorter nails mine actually lays eggs every year of course they're not fertile because she doesn't have a boy if you're feeding it the right thing and she has a proper nutrition how you haven't found any eggs in the water because I find them every year sometimes twice a year and a lot of them they're a little bit bigger than a quail egg
I have a 22 year old red eared slider turtle I’ve had since I was 18, I’m 40 now and he’s super tiny and stopped growing a long time ago but his vet says he’s totally healthy and fine
That’s awesome!!! So nice to see people keeping their turtles.
Beautiful turtle! Looks like ninja is a girl though 😊🤙🏼
They can live 50.
Did you call the Guinness book of world records to see if anyone has one older than 31? You might have a record man! Contact them
I think there’s someone that has one that’s 43. If I’m not mistaken.
My female us 37.male Is 32..
Mine's over 40 now and still kicking. Had him since i was about 6
That’s amazing!! I’m glad you still have yours
I have 3 turtles. The first one I got, when I was 9 years old. This guy has already 23 years. Second one ist 22 and last one - lady - she is 13. 😊
Amazing dude I love it
My mom bought my little brother a turtle even though he didn’t want one. Then my sister took over his care because I was too scared of him. But then she moved out so I was left to care for him. I don’t even remember how old he is, probably 10 years old. I recently began building him an outdoor habitat because he’s too big for his aquarium. It’s still in the beginning stages but I’m so excited to have him explore his own space. I will bring him in for extreme weather but I just know he needs his space. He’s super chill and responds to me tapping my leg when he’s outside. lol his name is Leonardo (yep, big TMNT fan here too)
Ayyyyy!!! Love it
77 to 80 years old
I work at a golf course in California and we have a huge pond with TONS of read eared sliders living in it. My story is similar to yours I’m almost 31 and have had a tortoise since I was 3. We’re both 30. My girlfriend and I just bought 2 baby sliders, and albino read eared and a western painted slider both the size of a US quarter. Awesome animals and this video was very cool to watch and see how big these guys live and how long they live. Cheers from California
That’s amazing!! Glad to hear it! Cheers from Canada. Hopefully I earned a sub.
thank you for this video i wanted to buy a pet that can give me company you gave me animation i just bought three turtles cooter turtle , peninsula cooter and red ear slider they are baby. i really enjoy them
Thanks for watching!
I got one that I’ve had since 1994 she’s a female had her ever since still kickin too love her
Thank you for your sharing.But I think this beautiful turtle is a girl.Because the nails of male turtles are much longer than that of female turtles, and the tail of male turtles is thicker than that of female turtles.
💪💪💪
Hi enjoyed the video, how often do you feed and could you post a video of its habitat?
Thanks
I have 26 years old red-eared slider, and also invasive species in Hungary (and along EU).
That’s awesome!!
Do they ever stop growing? When did he reach that size? Mine is 21 years old!
I think she has stopped growing to be honest.. she’s pretty big.
Awesome! 😆
Crazy!!!!
I am glad you have him. I known turtles can live really long time. 🙂 I heard some turtles can live up to 100. I really hope he does live up to close to up like that.
I had my turtle for years and his name is Micheal Angelo. I begged my mom for it and her name Michelle so I tried to make her feel special lol. But only Ninja Turtle fans knows the truth. 😉
100% they do! I appreciate you tuning in. Hopefully I earned a sub!
I'm 36 and I have a RES.shes about 28-30, I originally named my turtle James then later Jamie once she laid a few infertile eggs and ate them. Jamie is 10 inches long. Turtles are far from bland and boring. Having a turtle is like owning a Dinosaur. Turtles have been around millions of years with few changes if any. RES are durable and can adapt to colder conditions . For great information look into the Garden State tortoise channel, The Turtle Den,Dan the turtle man, turtle girl are all great channels
That’s awesome!!
I've seen a post that the two Red Ear Slidders Cuff & Link from the movie Rocky are still in the possession of Sylvester Stallone & that's almost 50 yrs ago
That was actually fake believe it or not. It was proven to be fake, sadly. As much as I wanted it to be true.

I thought male had long nails?? Do you trim them?

Thank you!!!
my turtle died today...she was 35 years old...I was socked..I couldn't believe..and I still can't...I don't know whether to bury her or leave her in a natural lake...since she never experienced a natural lake......😔 she was with me since I was a baby...we lived together for 35 years..I still think she was the prettiest turtle
I’m sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences to you. It’s never easy losing a pet - Especially one that you have bonded with for such a long time. Hang in there….
@@aquarium.talktv thank you,....I didn't sleep nor eat all day and today I must burry her....I just needed time with her although she is gone from her body....I can't believe I will wake up and not see her eyes again....I hope she knew how much I loved her...
@@olgagalaziou5138 she did. My condolences to you.
My slider is 20 years old!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
PS.... Surprise!!! Ninja is actually a female.
Thats what im thinking 😄
Its claws, size, and tail sure look like its a female, but after 31 years, you think he'd have seen an egg or two.
That's how I found out mine was a female 😂
Uummm ....i though males have longer claws and tail .....that one looks like a female cause of shorter claws and tail
Check the pinned comment :)
@@aquarium.talktv i just did .... lol i was right ....i started to question myself there for a sec 😅😅😅
can you please show your turtles tank and basking area please
You can view it on my Instagram page relatively regularly. But I’ll be making a RUclips video on his enclosure at a later date
💯❤
Mines over 40
That’s amazing to hear!
I'm 45 this year and remember having a pair at less than 5 years old. Called Fred but I always thought was a female looks like he's a he after all red eared slider
Got my red-eared slider 18 years ago! His name is Carlito. He was a present for my 5-year old grandson who is now 23. When I bought him, he was the size of a quarter and so cute! I was so excited about giving them (there were 2) to my 2 oldest grandsons, that I forgot to see if it was ok for them to have a pet! Naturally, they could not! So I ended up getting 2 unexpected pets to take care of. Could not take them back to the kiosk where I purchased them and ALL of the things turtles need. My 16 year old daughter was so convincing in getting me to buy everything, that they offered her a job selling turtles and turtle paraphernalia! Unfortunately, one of the little turtles passed away. So I've had one, Carlito, ever since. I'm about to get him a larger tank and change his environment. He's about 8 -10 inches. Any ideas?
Ninja is BEAUTIFUL!! THANK to FATHER GOD in HEAVEN that your Beautiful 🐢 Turtle is still alive!! He's GORGEOUS!
I have a Red Eared Slder and it's a female. I named her after me; I gave her my middle name. Her name is Doreen.
I LOVE ❤ Doreen my Beautiful Turtle 🐢.
Keep on loving and caring for your BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS Turtle.
I enjoy watching 👀 your video.
Take Care!
Thank you for the compliments and most importantly, thank you for taking the time out to watch.
Not an expert but I'm pretty sure it's a she
Check description; pinned comment and recent short.
I just got done watching your video. As someone else commented, I believe that Ninja is likely a female, based on its size. My family's red-eared slider died last week. She was 51. My parents bought her and a male in 1971. The male died in summer 1994.
Absolutely. I have a pinned comment addressing the female point.
I want to get one. But somebody told my wife this nonsense that they are so angry and dangerous that they can easily bite a finger off. So now she is strongly against me even starting to talk about getting one.
Absolutely not true.
@@aquarium.talktv My wife was invited to a reptile farm a year ago. There they saw a caretaker feed red-eared sliders. He fed them chicken necks. At one point he had a turtle bite one end of the neck and started pulling back at the other end until the neck was bitten in half. Then he said, "See how vicious these creatures are? Imagine the neck was your child's finger. Keeping these turtles as pets is one of the dumbest mistakes people make. All these turtles were donated to us by their former owners who couldn't take their agression any longer." That made a big impression on my wife.
My red ear slider is almost 40 and he hates me
Lol you still have time to win him over
I have one that is around 12 years old named Squirtle. The turtle itself is easy to take care of, the chore comes in changing the water, moving the tank around, and affording the size tank, heat lamps, and filters you will need. They are very hardy, but do appreciate variety of foods. I rotate through three different kinds of foods, and supplement with veggies and fruit, and the occasional earthworm or small bites of chicken or beef.
I have a 2 year old red eared slider male and a female painted turtle and a baby yellow bellied slider and I also live in Canada Ontario I’m in the Toronto area
That’s awesome!! 👏🏻
@@aquarium.talktvyeah and in building an outdoor pond for them for the summer and I can’t wait too see where they take me
Wow 12 inches is big for a male Red Eared Slider. Typically males only get about 8-10 inches, females get about the 12 and up range.
I recently became an caretaker of a 15 year old red ear slider. I have spent a good sum of money for the recommended size but I also haven't seen many as old as "Shelly " he's not as big as he could of been he's been living in 20 -40 gal tank for much of his life and I witnessed his first tank he could swim in his 125 gal tank. I would like to see ninja enclosures so I know what I need to do.
Please 🙏 give us updates on Ninja please 🙏
Check my Instagram. Just uploaded a new video there on Ninja
Thank u 🤞🏻
@@buseozbay5983 check the description of the video :)
Amazing, i enjoyed listening to this very much and found it very interesting and informative. Thanks.
You have a female not a male
Check the pinned comment lol
I have one since 2001
1990 for me. Amazing!! Cheers to another 20 years for yours
Great video!!!I have one that’s 2 and your video was super informative
Thank you I honestly appreciate it. Hopefully it’s worth you subscribing to the channel
Our local library has one that is 20 years old. Mine is only about 7 & she’s not that big. My daughter loves her so I guess she’ll get passed onto her 😂 the tank is the only thing I hate cleaning especially since our water has high calcium I always have to scrub the residue off the sides from it splashing from the filter
i think it can get bigger than that
Thanks for watching!
He's beautiful, thats so nice. I recently took in my 13 yr old nephew 2 turtles he got when he was about 4 but now he has no interest for them. I never had turtle before but they grew on me and I grew to care for them very much. It's a little ruff because buying everything they need has broke my budget but I try my best to look for deals. Thanks for sharing.
That’s amazing.
I have a 22 year old female yellow belly. Her name is Hadward. Hadley after my 1st grandchild and Edward after my deceased father. She's enormous. Anyway, thanks for sharing Ninja with us.
No problem! Hopefully I earned a subscribe from you!

I just burried my red slider turtle.We got her when she was 1 week old and a quarter in size. She lasted with us for 28 years. She was a great turtle. She would of lasted more but she caught pheumonia. If you are planning on getting one, They need large tank to move in and a basking bridge and basking light to heat them and the light to help their shell to absorb vitamin D. Because they are not outdoors in the sun, they need these special lamps. Zoomeds is the best turtle pellet food for them cause it has vitamin D3 and calcium for their shell Whereas the other foods don't. Make sure it says vitamin D3 this vitamin is vital in their diet. Make sure their water tank has a warm water heater thermometer because they need warm water all the time or else they go into hybernation mode and wont eat and they get sick with pheumonia. That is what happened to mine. I hope this infomation helps.❤
We just found a baby red eared slider. My son Leonardo named him Raphael. We are trying to learn as much as we can before we decide to make the commitment to keep him or if we will release him into the canal behind our house. So far we may keep him
Hi!! I hope you're fine. I have a qiestion: Does the tortoise have pink skin??
No not really.. and it’s a turtle. Tortoises are a little bit different than turtles.
@@aquarium.talktv I have a red-eared slider and it has pink skin like yours, but they told me that's because it's sick... now I don't know
@@octaviogonzalezs.8083 mine isn’t “pink skin”. I think pink on red ear sliders would be a darker shade of pink signalling infection. In this case, I can only speak for my turtle. No real Pink.

His turtle is a she

Its a female btw

Wow 31 is pretty long for this kind of turtle. Mine is 12
Cheers to yours living a long life as well
Thank you for sharing,we have 3 RES’s,upstate NY
His front claws look really short which would indicate hes female i could be wrong however males usually have longer front claws then that
Check the description
@aquarium.talktv ok sorry I didn't look at the description
@aquarium.talktv also female res could become gravid (egg bearing) even if they don't mate lol I guess she never did but she could have died from it if you tought she was a male. Congrats tho she's lived very long
I would suggest creating a nesting site just in case that very small chance she does become gravid she probably won't but you never know
