Turtles

[jak2002003]

Does anyone have any pet turtles they want re homed?

They must be pet red eared sliders.. NOT NATIVE WILD TURTLES.

I used to have 6 pet ones I bought when they were about one inch long.

Over several years they grew huge and lived happily in my lake. I liked to watch them swimming about and sunbathing.. they would come to me for food.

I moved house.. and had to leave them behind.. as my rented house had not pond.

Now I have my own place and have built another small lake.. and am missing seeing turtles swimming about in it.

I can only find tiny ones at the pet shop.. and I think my koi fish would eat them.

I was thinking maybe some people on here have got some turtles that have grown too big for them.. and I can offer them a lovley safe home.

I live in Chiang Mai.

Thanks.

They sell them in my local fish market, not as food but for releasing as Buddhist merit.

Hi.. thanks for the reply.

I have seen them.. but they are the native Malaysian Snail Eating turtles.. they are nocturnal and spend their time buried in the mud underwater... so if I got them they would just swim to the bottom of my pond never to be see again.
