red ear slider turtles (small)
 

anyone knwo where i can get one or two res turtles? i tried the place infront of dq on rupert n kingsway but they closed cause of a flood, and king ed only has Mississippi map turtles. anyone? XD


and if anyone has any big al's gift cards pm me

I think metro Pet habitat has some RES.

go to the states and get it at a pet store down in bellingham...

Its only 10 bucks ea down there, bring it back in your pocket or glove box!

How much are they in Canada? In HK they are like $5 HKD each :lol

i rmbr seeing tanks of them for sale in china, just sitting in clumps like a pile of cans

I think vancouver (at least the city of Vancouver) banned the sale of any water turtle like 10 years back. I wont recommand to keep RES as pet anyway. it needs a big tank, like a 10 gallon for 2 babies (size of a loonie) to 50 gallon when they grow big in a few years. also they really stink, you need a very good filtering system to keep the water clean.

yeah don't go turtles unless you're SERIOUS about keeping them for a long time.
There's really no where to "Get rid" of them.
Ponds don't do it.

big Al's aquarium got lots

Fraser aquariums has some

Yea, HK sells them for like $10 HKD. Here, they go for 50-60 dollars CDN. Make sure you are willing to take on the responsibility before you commit to a turtle. You will need a big water tank, a power filter (Canister type), submersible heater and UV lights = Lots of $$ and time.

lol don't get turtles. trust me. unless you really like them.

Just limit the amount of food they eat so they don't get too big. ;)

The stink part is true if you don't maintain the tank (not difficult but you can't do absolutely nothing), and their shells shed large flakes. When I cleaned out our tank and dumped the old water into the toilet I was surprised at how much crap was in the water. It looked almost like diarrhea. :lol

With that said, our pet RES is a cute but kind of dumb little bugger. :lol Other than the tank cleaning every 3 months or so, there's virtually no maintenance involved. They supposedly live 50+ years though, so get ready for a lifetime of feedings. :)

lol yah, they get really boring as pets.
