You can't visibly distinguish ears on them but they can definitely hear you. I've had my two yellow bellied sliders for about 2 or 3 years now and they come swimming to me when I call their names.
They can eat a variety of foods, I own one myself..They can eat foods such as feeder goldfish, fish, different vegtables, and turtle pellets.Were you thinking about getting one, or do you have one.?...
They are native to the southeastern United States from southeastern Virginia down to Florida. Their habitat includes slow-moving rivers, swamps, marshes and flood-plains.
