@tglazie That is sad there is now a turtle trap. That is great you were helping them out.I really enjoyed the post even though it is sad but its a good dose of reality. It would be hard to be an RES rescue because people can go to the Petstore and buy one cheap that is cute and small . I think its good your making everyone aware that turtles let loose in the wild don't always make it. Sadly, I think that happens often when they get to big and people don't want to invest in the proper set up. It is awesome what you and Carlc are doing for these wonderful turtles.
That is how I got my Myrtle from Craigslist as a craigslist rescue. She was in a tank and could not get out of water because she outgrew here tiny basking area. She had algae and pyramiding shell. We love her though and enjoy watching her swim and bask like this is the life.
