Where can i find a red slider turtle?!?!?

Question

i live in North Carolina and even on the internet can not find a red slider turtle

do you have any web sites or stores i can get a couple or any red slider turtles?!?

Answer 1

have you tried Petco?

Have you read up on sliders and how much they cost and what it takes to keep them..and how long they last. I got  mine when I was 18 and they are 36 yrs old now!!

Sliders are great for decorating ponds or large tanks. I have had two for 36 yrs now plus a 8 yr old and a 5 yr old..

I have had them in a 150gal pond for about 6 yrs now..

**Here is some important and a lot of info. If he or she is small get feeder guppies or minows or small feeder goldfish, frozen brown,dried tubiflex cubes, garden worms ..even meal worms.

If the tank is too cold they wil get sick easily.

The “herpetologicalsocieties.com, for a turtle vet in your city and state.

Answer 2

Look in the phone book for  pet stores in your area. Give them a call and ask them if they have any turtles. If they say no, ask them if they know anyone in the area that does. Good luck.

Be careful if buying them over the Internet and having them shipped. I have heard that many times they will arrive dead or die shortly after if the person shipping them does not take proper precautions.

Good luck!
