Hi all!
I am about to become a tort mom. Not planned, but a friend is in a tight spot and asked if I wanted her “Red Eared Slider.” I’m familiar with those, so saidbsure. Have received a picture of…. Clearly not a RES 😂 thinking Red Foot… can anyone confirm?
I’ve read the care sheets. This is not the species I would have a chosen, but since it’s currently living in a 20 gallon tank and being cared for like a bearded dragon, I’m taking him and will make it work. Space is not a concern, I have a large empty room I can build an indoor enclose in (since we are very close to “too cold to be outside” and I live in 5 acres so come spring I can figure out an enclosure.
There are NO pet stores within an hour of me, so Amazon is going to be my friend for anything that can’t be bought at a feed store. I believe they do carry the substrates recommended here at least!
I’m about to place an Amazon order for him, so if you can link your favorite heat emitters etc I’ll get him situated ASAP!
