Hello everyone!!! My name is Jessica. I have owned a Red-eared Slider for over 13 years and I know she is at least 16. I have never loved a pet like I do Evie, that's her name. She is the light of my world and there's nothing I wouldn't do for her!!!! I have owned some other turtles, but Red-eared Sliders seem to have more of a personality than other types. I'm 24 years old and Evie and I have grown up together.
