Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 5:27 am Hello everyone!
I just got a baby red-eared slider about 5 days ago. I named it Sgt. Pepper (I figure that's a good name no matter what the sex turns out to be) and he/she's about an inch and a half long. I joined because I want to make sure that Sgt has a good home and is well taken care of. The last time I had a RES was when I was about 7 or 8 and it was one my mom rescued. That turtle was about 4 or 5 inches long but after a while we realized we didn't have the space or money to devote to giving her a good home so she was given to a friend (she was being kept in a tank that was probably less than 10 gallons, I can't really remember, but it was not ideal as we didn't know anything about turtles). So anyway, I want to make sure that this time my turtle is as healthy and happy as can be!
