What kind of animal is a slider?

Do you have one?
Answers:
Sliders are the most variable of all turtles, with more than a dozen known races, including the familiar Red-eared Slider. Millions of slider hatchlings raised on turtle farms are sold as pets each year around the world. A few sliders have lived 40 years in captivity. The slider's diet changes with age. It starts out eating insects, shifting to plants as it matures.

Look For: A medium to large freshwater turtle with a large red stripe behind each eye. The oval shell is green with yellow and black bars. The yellow lower shell has a single black mark in each scute. Males have large, curved front claws.Related Species:

I believe it is a certain type of snake. Maybe the ones that live in the desert, like in Arabia or something. I am just guessing. Seems like I have heard that name associated with snakes though.
