How long can my turtle live out of water?

by Shelly
(California)

We came home last night only to find that one of our two red eared sliders had somehow managed to escape from its home. I really am not sure how he managed to get out but he did, we searched and could not find him. How long can he survive out of the water? He is quite small still so finding him is going to be difficult.
