I am the owner of two babies-one male and one female. I aquired them 09/30/06 at the World's Largest Garage Sale in Warrensburg, NY. They were sold illegally. As a child, I recall having hatchling sliders. We never knew how to care for them and therefore, they never survived. I am determined to nurture my slider babies to maturity! The male became ill Feb. 2007....the female was too agressive and took all the food. I nursed the male back to health with Vitamin A drops, Sulfa Dip, and a diet of turtle food with nutrients. I feed them separately now and there have been no more issues. I use a small aquarium to house both. In the fall, I will move them to a larger aquarium. I look forward to "chatting" with all slider lovers via this forum. Love the photo galleries!

Thanks! I watched the video at least twice....made me smile. I am a little slow learning to navigate the forum to view resposes and create replies. Hopefully, I will learn quickly. There is so much information from so many people...I HAD to join and I'll get better at navigation.

Asia is the female and Warren is the male. I aquired them in Warrensburg, NY...this is the origin of the male name. Asians were selling the turtles illegally with their inscense and sweaters....that's how Asia got her name!

Thanks for the welcome....I have never done any "communicating" via a webpage forum...I am hoping it will be rewarding.
