red eared sliders

I have 2 red eared sliders in central Virginia that I need to find a good home for. They're almost a year old. Franklin is about 3 inches and Linda is about 4. I think I have a male and a female but I'm not sure. Please let me know if you want them!

I have had my turtle for about 15 years now. He has always been an only turtle because I knew I could never handle two of them. He is HUGE and I cannot imagine how big of a tank I would need for 2 of them. Well I am beginning to feel a bit guilty that he has no friends. I went to our little...

In the latest edition of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a publication of Centers for Disease Control, there is an article about turtles and instances of salmonella infections. A significant number of these arose from small Red Eared Sliders purchased at flea markets. Here is...

Before I totally wreck my pond and make it deeper and bigger, I thought I'd take pics of how it is now. Not much of a pond, but I'm hoping to change that :) I need to install the fountain again also. As of now, just some Gambusia and pond snails inhabit it, but I've added some old pics of past...

I currently have a ninety gallon pond in my back yard that my two adult male red eared sliders live in. My nephew also has a adult male red eared slider that he is no longer able/willing to care for. I would like to take his turtle to add to my enviorment, however I am concerned about my two...

I was just curious as to how we all decide on names for our furry, or not so furry, friends. My cat Isis is named after the cat goddess, and Polly just seemed to suit my other cat. I also used to have a kitty called fletcher one eye, because he got an eye infection when he was a baby and...

I think I posted on here a while ago when I first got my little Red Eared Sliders. My parents got them as hatchlings off canal street, and they still had their egg teeth. One originally wasnt eating. Well now, they are a little bigger. Both are eating, but the one that wasnt before, seems to...

Today I went over a friend's house to meet with a few people and shoot a video for school. I'm pretty good friends with all the kids there, so it was really fun. But, this girl is an only child and is so spoiled, but she's still pretty nice. This is where it gets bad, she has four full grown...

For my birthday I'm going to be getting another pet. However, I'm having trouble deciding ^_^;. One of the animals I'm thinking of getting is a turtle. I've done quite a bit of research on them, however, I want owners' opinions. I'd probably get a Red-Eared Slider...so if anyone has one, it'd...

I was wonderin if there was a way to tell what sex sliders are when they are still young. I have two and one is alot bigger than the other one, but they are both healthy and eat the same amount of food. I'm fixin to get them a bigger tank too. If one is a female, what age do they start...

I'm not sure what to do... I received in the mail yesterday the two baby red eared sliders I had ordered. When I first got them they both had their eyes closed and wouldn't open them, then finally one opened both his eyes, and the other only opened one of them. Still a day has gone by and his...
