Get to know me

I am a female, green Turtle (red-eared slider). Meet Nacho! She is noted to love to eat! Caring for red-eared sliders can be a rewarding experience! Here are some quick and fun tips to keep your turtle happy and healthy:• Adults need a 75-gallon tank or larger with swimming space and a basking area.• Use a high-quality filter and do weekly partial water changes.• Provide a basking platform at 90–95°F with a UVB bulb for calcium absorption.• Feed turtle pellets, leafy greens (e.g., kale, dandelion), and occasional protein treats like shrimp or mealworms. Avoid overfeeding!• Add rocks, logs, aquatic plants, and floating toys. Live feeder fish can engage their natural hunting instincts.

We do our best to update our adoptable pet listing as quickly as possible. However, there may be times when an animal is not at the shelter. Thank you for your understanding!
