Red-eared slider turtle

[aeroaustin]

Howdy,

Do you know anywhere place or store that had red-eared slider turtle? We would like to buy several turtles to compansion with Cody in the pond.

I built a 4 feet by 6 feet pond for my wife and we had two turtles, Zack and Cody but unfortntely that Zack has been stolen.

We like to have several turtle. I don't want softshell or painted, want red-eared slider turtle.

thanks

You can check Aquadome. I know he has turtles in one of his ponds. Also are you sure it was stolen and didn't wander off?? They will escape from time to time even if there is no nearby water source. Also most pet shops will not sell turtle under a certain size except for educational purposes.

Check out the Austin Aqua Dome in south Austin. I think they have a little pond out back with all kinds of sliders!

There is no water source nearly my area, also I have set up 8 inches below from top where people can look or leg rest. there is no way for turtles to escape, I already set up the video surveillance for front yard also pond for in case.

I know you mention about aqua dome, they do have but they don't selling any stuffs or foods for turtles.

I know exotic store but they has small baby turtles, can't sell until past 4 inches big then can buy.

If you are willing to drive to San Marcos, I think its a short trip. AAnimal Wonders always has turtles.. you could check there. Their number is (512) 392-7387

A raccoon could have easily reached down and grabbed it.

I will tell my wife go and check after she finish classes at TSU. I never heard about Animal Wonders. I will check yellow pages to find out the location is.

Thanks

I lost so many, I finally quit putting them in my 4000g pond, even with 12"-15" vertical walls of Texas holey rock cliffs around most of it and cynder blocks with bricks on top and overhanging to the inside around the rest they still manage to get away and find a way under my chain link fence , then POOF!!! Gone!

We did look around petco in Austin, they are were no longer selling RES turtle. They stopped last years what the manager told me.

Wife and I will check Aanimal Wonders this weekend.

Today I got home early from college and look around for any claws mark from any animal (i.e raccoon, possum and any animals) don't find any mark or tear pond linear because there is no surround of rock near wall. interesting theory.. so anyway we want to get other RES and see what is happen.

I will post the picture of Pond and the turtle when get home tonight from Physics class.
