My name is Red Eared Sliders!

Red Ear Slider Turtles for adoption.    This young pair are approximately 4 years old (very young in turtle terms) and were found by a realtor in a bedroom bin when entering a vacated house.    They are healthy, happy, and very eager for food and attention.    They are a Male and Female pair. The conditions upon which they would reproduce are highly unlikely in a captive situation, so there is no worry about hatchlings. The Male is very gregarious and is always looking for the next meal, or mealworm.    They are eating pelleted aquatic turtle food and dried mealworms and shrimp (available at chewy or your local pet store.)      Before considering adoption, please note that Red Ear Sliders are long term pets that require specific aquatic housing and cannot be released into the wild or any natural body of water, as they are an invasive species that will outcompete our native Northeastern US turtles like the painted turtle.   Please reference the links below for more information. 

Shell I go on?    For more information about these turtles please send an email to margaretleardi@gmail.com. 

Thank you Lamancha Animal Rescue for posting them and for taking care of so many critters- furry, finned, feathered, shelled, and scaled.
