How long can turtles breathe under water?

  • Answer:

    turtles can't breathe underwater. They can however, hold theyre breath for long periods of time. My red eared sliders can go for about 5 minutes but they can last 30 minutes, or much more like when they hibernate or sleep. it depends on the species of turtle
