My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner on November 24. 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Gamrot, the female Red-Eared Slider Turtle, a lively and delightful companion that requires proper care to stay healthy and happy. As an active aquatic species, Gamrot will need a spacious tank, at least 75 gallons, with both a water section for swimming and a dry basking area. The water should be kept clean and at a warm temperature (around 75-80°F), with a filtration system to help maintain clarity. A UVB light is essential for Gamrot's shell health, and she'll need a basking spot where she can dry off and absorb UV rays to produce Vitamin D3. Her diet should include a mix of high-quality turtle pellets, leafy greens (like kale and dandelion greens), and occasional protein sources like insects or fish. Be sure to monitor her for signs of shell growth and molting, and provide fresh water regularly. Red-Eared Sliders can live for decades, so long-term care, including tank cleaning and consistent feeding, is key to keeping Gamrot happy and healthy!
