New to turtles :)
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:16 pmHello all! My name is Marie and I have recently (today actually) acquired a 6 year old red eared slider. His name is Thomas O'Brien 
I sort of inherited him from my aunt - she has been taking great care of him ever since she rescued him from one of those mall kiosks that were selling turtles - they were going out of business and she was allowed to take one since she worked in the mall. She's trying to downsize and asked me to take him. I don't know much about turtles, but I accepted him and plan to learn as much as I can from places like this and other websites and books.
He's a sweet little turtle and I'm attached to him already. Anyway, I may not be super active here, but I'll try to stop by a lot and learn what I can!
