Hi Everyone
I’m Andrew I recently tried emailing the rescue email address listed on the site and didn't get any response. I did however check in with the Regina Humane society and looked on used Regina and Kijiji and I found someone yesterday who was moving from a house to an apartment and needed to give up their 1.5 year old red eared slider that she had from 3 weeks old.
I now have her in my 75 gallon aquarium, with a large floating basking rock and 150W basking light. (Still need to get a UV light)
My plan once the weather warms up is to let her out into my 1000 gallon pond. I also have about 60 goldfish in there of varying sizes so she’ll have the ability to hunt down the smaller ones if she can catch them.
I was really hoping to get a western painted turtle however I’m happy I was able to rescue this little girl (at least I think it’s a girl, I don’t think you can fully tell until they are around 3 years old). I look forward to hearing any advice or interesting stories of anyone with red eared sliders. Also if anyone is looking for a home for a western painted give me a shout.
