    Turtles and frogs. Dangers and diseases?

    Hello, folks! As I've mentioned on other posts, we have a female red-eared slider (or "pond" slider) named Teresa. We've had her for over a decade. As is often the case with red-eared sliders, she has grown too big and too challenging to keep inside in an average-sized aquarium tank. I've been...

    Is my red-eared slider an example of neoteny or natural size?

    Hello folks! I've already mentioned our red-eared slider, Teresa, on many of my older posts before. Most of these posts were regarding the husbandry of the species in general. However, this time, I'm interested in posting a thread on the subject of Teresa herself. I've noticed that many...

    Red-eared slider pond in northern New Hampshire?

    Red-eared sliders and American bullfrogs living together? (LONG THREAD)

    Hello, folks! Some of you may already be acquainted with our turtle, as I've already introduced her on another thread. We currently own a female red-eared slider named Teresa or "Terry" who's a little over 12 years old. We've had her for that long, and we suspect she could live many more years...

    Questions and discussion about naturalistic ecosystem enclosures for red-eared sliders

    Hello, folks! As you may have known from my previous post, we currently have an adult female red-eared slider turtle named Teresa. She's a medium-sized specimen, small for a female, at about 8 inches of shell length. She's a little over 12 years of age, and at this age I don't suspect she will...

    Hello, folks! I'm "Wayfarin" and this is Teresa

    Hello, folks! I'm "Wayfarin" and this is our red-eared slider, Teresa. She's our 12/13-year old red-eared slider female whom we've had for a very long time. She's been living most of her life indoors in a 30-gallon tank, but we're finally in the process of upgrading her living conditions to...
