Answer by  Gabriella (25)

Red-ear turtles, also known as red-eared slider turtles, can lay many eggs at once. Depending on the size of the female, a red-eared slider turtle can lay as few as two or as many as twenty eggs. Generally, the larger the female, the larger the clutch size.

A healthy RES may lay anywhere from 3 to 30 eggs, mostly depending on her size, age, diet, and overall health. Make sure you have a good nesting area otherwise the turtle may hold the eggs too long, possibly leading to illness or even death.
