Random red eared slider

[snakeguy101]

Someone dumped an RES on me. I found it in my courtyard pond and there is no way that it could have gotten there without someone placing it in there. It is in good health and is actually one of the better looking ones I have seen but I can't keep it because I dont have the filtration food or dedication for another turtle. In FL these guys are illegal to do anything with except keep- you cant sell, trade, release, buy, etc.) What should I do with it?

Lol, no kidding! I've declined many offers in the past.

If you could get it to me, I'd take it for my pond. But I'm 1/3 of the way across the US...

This reminds me of when we found a 90 pound+ African Spurred Tortise in our front yard. We kept her for several month until she vanished. We kept her out side in a pasture. We live out on a 5 acre lot in the middle of nowhereville, so its likely she wasn't "lost". We suspect one of our not so friendly neighbors took her and sold her... They had talked about it, then she sorta went missing....

posted an ad to craigslist to come and take her. got two replies so problem solved. Unless anyone from here wants to come and get it...
