Turtles and tortoises are inquisitive creatures, but they do not possess a great deal of what you would call "knowledge." Some turtles have better awareness of their surroundings (such as height or motion) than others, even within the same species. All turtles fail sentience tests, as they cannot distinguish between a reflection of themselves and another turtle. Red-eared sliders are no exception.

Yes and no. All turtles have different personalities and some can be more friendly than others. Most red eared sliders will eventually tame and nearly all will recognize their keeper. Turtles that have been handled gently will likely be very tame and will accept more handling than others. In general, red eared sliders are very friendly but it can take some time for them to become that way.

Yes red eared slider turtles can grow to be up to 11", but are usually only about 1" when born. They are omnivores and eat mainly veggies.

Negative, it is actually an invasive species. They make great pets though, however people tend to release them when they get too big, which is why they become an invasive species.

Actually, both are really good pets. You just need a proper set-up for the turtle. ( Whether it be a Map Turtle or a Snapping Turtle.)
