Hi, does anyone khow of somewhere in london that will take in two fairly large red eared sliders or is any body interested in offering them a home.

Not being based on the other side of Atlantic makes knowing someone or a place to rehome your turtles difficult. (I have to ask why you need to rehome them.)

However, you might try http://www.animalrescuers.co.uk/html/reptilesetc.html for possible contacts. You could also Google for additional possibilities.

yeah, been doing that and posted them on this site beacause I'd like to know that they were going to a good home.

my reason for rehoming them is simply because I can't afford the necessary equipment for them and can not keep cleaning out the tank each week.

They will soon need an even bigger tank and I only have a small flat that currently houses 2 boys, 2 cats and 3 rats!

Yikes! Try that site. Also any zoos, animal "museums," etc., even herp vets (maybe they'd know of someone whose interested).

Good luck.
