January 30, 201610 yr 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.

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.
