[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 157246, member: 1697"] I'm afraid I have no great ideas, but, the subject line caught my eye.... We have a red eared slider, it is maybe around 15 years old, (maybe a little more)- we got it in Indiana at our river property - it had come out to our driveway, and was size of a quarter..... we brought it home and it has lived in a tank in our living room ever since. Ours is not social, BUT we love him to peices. Ours also has one goldfish that is now maybe 5-6 years old or so, that he refused to eat out of all the feedr fish we have put in with our turtle over the years....so we say bob the fish is roadhouse the turtles pet. Our tank is not so wonderful, we have had difficulty (we are NOT creative) in setting up a proper habitat, but, roadhouse has been very forgiving and is now size of a dinner plate. Over the years I have tried a few times to find a vet to help us out, but I have not ever found one around here. Someone I worked with had several red eared sliders, and a pond building nursery landscape place a mile up from me has on their display lot a pond with a whole bunch of red eared sliders. Last winter I asked them what they were gonna do with theirs over winter, but at the time I asked they still were not sure-----(and I have not yet been there this season to ask again) Good luck with yours!
