Baby Red Eared Slider- Please read!

[picod]

Hello!
My very good friend recently brought me two baby red eared slider turtles that he rescued. I wasn't prepared for any new additions to my household, but never turn away a little animal in need.
They are about two inches big at this time, and are becoming a little annoyed being together in a small set-up. I am planning on building a creek in my back yard in the spring, and hope for one to continue to live with me.
I am looking for a home for the other, BUT I will only place him/her in a suitable home. People too often get these babies because they are so cute, only to eventually neglect them or irresponsibly set them free in a local pond/lake.
These guys can easily live over 20 years, so I am going to be very cautious to whomever is interested.
With that being said, I would appreciate serious inquiries only.

Please pm me with any interest.
I am in no rush to place this baby in a home, and will wait as long as it takes for the appropriate home to come along.
Thanks!
danielle

cute... wish I still had my backyard pond. Used to keep turtles and terrapins back there years ago.

Good luck! The nickel sized one I bought in Flushing about 12 years ago for my son is now enormous. My wife has one at her mother's house (a Florida cooter, not a red-ear) that is well over 40 years old now.

Don't forget turtles need UVB or they will die or get sick not just heat I know that's a common mistake.
