Hi All

Im new here, I have recently adopted a red ear slider, his name is crush, he would be about 5-6 years old.
He has had a bit of a hard life so far. Has not been well cared for and as such his shell is not what it should be.

Hes been doing well since I got a heat lamp and a UV light and a dry basking area. His previous owners did not give him any of that.

Im sure he reconises me as he will swim up to the side of his tank and great me in his own little way when I enter the room.

hello and welcome! sounds like your RES is now in much better hands with you

Poor little turtle
You are probably his/her savior with what you have done with him! Feed him well and treat him like family, and post some pictures too! (Especially of the shell, because I'm sure that in your care, we will be able to see it get better.)

Welcome to the site! Congrats on the rescue, it's great that he finally has some of those basics.

Rescue stories always make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
