:lol: Hi there. I'm Ginny and I am from North Carolina. I just acquired a red eared slider that is about a year and a half old and a set up in a 3 gallon tank which I think is too small. I am looking forward to viewing the stuff on here to better help me with this poor little turtle that should have been left in the pond and not picked up and brought home. Now they are unable to care for her and I am not sure she will ever be releasable.
If it's wild then leave it alone unless it is sick or injured. If that doesn't work you can always call me.
