What brand of food is best to buy my red eared slider? And what kind of food?
Fluker's or Maxuri pellets/sticks are quality diets. The diet should be varied to maximize nutrition. Offer leafy greens, crickets, small feeder fish, krill/shrimp (either can be freeze dried) or superworms in addition to a commercial pelleted diet.

I have 3 red slider turtles. I been having them for over 6 months now and they are starting to become picky eaters. 2 of them are wild and 1 is from the per store. I tried three different brands and kinds of food and they only eat the dried shrimp. I
Shrimp should not be the sole source of nutrition. This may lead to deficiencies. Sliders are omnivorous and should be fed a combination of greens and proteins. Offer live prey such as crickets, minnows, nightcrawlers and superworms. Dark, leafy greens can be chopped finely and offered. A commercial pellet or stick formula should also be fed. To stimulate the appetite, you can soak pellets in some water used to rehydrate dried shrimp or krill. Fasting the turtles for a day or two will also get them hungry enough to eat pellets or prey. Be sure to provide adequate space, heat and lighting. Allow 10 gallons per inch of she'll as a guideline for tank size. Three sliders, when fully grown will need a large tank. UVB lighting will aid in calcium metabolism and heat is necessary for proper digestion and health in reptiles. Water temperature should range between 75F and 85F. A basking area should be 90F to 95F. Care should be taken when housing wild caught turtles with captive bred turtl

Wat should I feed my soft shell turtle???
Feeding soft shelled turtles is not difficult, adults are carnivorous and feed on a wide range of fish, mollusks, insects, amphibians and even carrion in the wild. If it swims or crawls, an animal is at risk for a soft-shelled turtle’s lay-and-wait hunting strategy. These turtles are not picky. Feeder minnows and goldfish, earthworms and night crawlers, waxworms, crickets and even frozen-thawed (size appropriate) rodents can be offered to pet soft-shelled turtles.

So I found a snake near a river by my house, it's a water snake completely harmless anyway I wanted to feed it food from around the area to keep to the diet it had before I found him however hes having trouble catching the food I catch for him he lik
First, you should check with local, state and federal laws to make sure you can keep a wild caught snake. Even if legal, it isn't recommended since wild caught animals do not transition well to captivity. Feed it what he would eat in the wild. That would be fish, salamanders and other aquatic species. Feeder fish would be easiest and most convenient. Place them in a shallow bowl on feeding days. It may not see frozen/thawed mice as food, so may not eat.
