Western painted turtles sub types have red and yellow stripes, thus gaining name. You will see these turtles among shallow waters, marshes and ponds in the U.S. They grow up to ten inches in length. Painted Pet turtle generally are omnivorous creatures, thus they can eat meat and plant. Even so, they eat more meat at younger age. Older turtles eat more varied food like fish eggs, slugs, snails, lily pads, small crayfishes, algae and whatever that fits their mouths and is available in ponds. Painted turtles are cold blooded so they have to normalize their body temperature via sunning their bodies.
