My story

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

Adopt Earl the male Red Eared Slider turtle! He's a beautiful adult RES, approximately 5 years old. Needing a new home with at LEAST a 75 gallon tank if he is by himself, or 125+ gallons in a community tank. His carapace measures approximately 8 inches, and he has beautiful yellow markings. He came to us from a home that him housed in less than ideal conditions, and now he is staying with us until we can find him a new home.


He is very friendly, and would work well in a community tank, is receptive to being hand-fed, and has a very distinct intelligent and curious personality. This biggest issue with finding Earl a new home is that he needs a very large enclosure with lots of water to swim in (at least 12-14" deep!) with a nice hot basking spot to come completely out of the water on, with UVA/UVB lighting, and must be fed a variety of foods including greens such as leaf lettuce, kale or cabbage, live foods such as crickets or superworms as a treat, and a staple diet of commercial cricket food. Krill and freeze-dried shrimp or bloodworms are also a favorite treat!


If you are interested in adopting Earl, please fill out our new ONLINE adoption application, or contact us toll free at 1-888-280-0145. We are asking a small re-homing fee of $10 for Earl. Located in Clinton, Missouri.


If you cannot provide a loving forever home for Earl, please help us to care for him by donating an item to them off of our Amazon.com wishlist for our reptiles, including turtles! They are in need of heat lamps, turtle food, repto-min for their water, or anything else on our reptile wishlist. It will be sent directly to us, and will be put directly towards the care of this or other turtles in the future we may rescue! Thank you!
