That's right..........................raised from the size of a quarter, now the size of a small dinner plate. healthy, no shell problems........has been housed in a 135 gallon tank for most of his life. Be mindful, this is not a friendly Red Eared slider............he will take a finger given a chance. Eats chicken, shrimp, floating turtle food, toads, frogs, grass hoppers, greens.

Please give "Redmen" a good home.......................don't want to hear he ended up as spring bouya!!!

Just a thought but...have you considered contacting something like the Duluth Aquarium or Cabela's and seeing if they would want "Redman"?

The link below should be for the Duluth/Superior Aquarium. I'm not sure if Cabela's has turtles in their aquariums.

I wrote to Cabela's multiple times with no reply? The Duluth aquarium will only consider a "unique specimen"...................So if he was albino, or a liberal pinko #!#!#!#!#! turtle he might have a chance.

Redmond is a great pet. He would make a GREAT addition to any family!!!

He isn't in trouble here at the Gorr house, but his tank mates - Justin and Joe, don't think it's appropriate to keep a roof over his head since he's no longer playing on our home team.

We would be happy to have you over to meet him, I don't recommend petting though. He's great with adults, kids and other pets, as long as they don't look like food.

Please consider this great addition to your family, a FREE addition to your family!!!

Would you consider him a meaty pet? Do you think he's tender? How do you think he'd like a nice hot bath... like really really hot....
