Painted turtle in need of new home in Minnesota area? General Dog Discussions
Approximately 3-5 yr old male painted turtle very healthy, his shell is flawless, loves to bask and chase feeder fish. The turtle alone for adoption including his canned super worms, canned shrimp and mixed pellet food is $30 but has to have a pre set up min 20 gallon tank, filter and basking area at new home. The other option is his current set up that includes 20 gallon tank, tank hood (lid), intank filter, basking ramp, basking light, gravel, canned food, pellet food, and current feeder fish for $100. If you are a first time turtle owner please research care and needs before contacting me. I am more then willing to help with any questions. A turtle is a good pet for a busy life style, as they do not need to be walked like a dog! I will include a care/feeding sheet for easy reference, all his food can be purchased at petco or petsmart feeder fish smalls comets are 13 cents each I purchase 20 at a time and that last him about 2 weeks then I purchase canned super meal worms and shrimp and feed that to him for the next 2 weeks every other day, I supplement him with pellet food but he rather prefers the good real food. I do not have current shell lenght or grams but can get this info if needed. He is a very fun little guy, he will eat super worms from your fingers!! His name is Shelldon and will almost always come up to see you when you walk by. He enjoys you "helping" him catch the feeder fish its a fun game he follows my finger on the glass to the fish!!!first off i did NOT offer him for sale, adoption is much diffrent. and i'm pretty sure i can ask whatever kind of question i would like. please go waist someone elses time i'm trying to find a good home for a turtle.Thank u for ur concern. as for his size he does very well in his 20 gallon tank he also has an outdoor pond in the summer. also the note saying turtles under 4 inches have samonilla that can be true but not in all cases the reason the sale of turtles under 4 inches is illegal is due to children placing the small turtles in there mouth directly more then a larger turtle. but any turtle any size or age can have the disease. he also is not a slider, tho similar they are not the same breed. this is a turtle i rescued not purchased from a petstore. so his food needs are diffrent then a captive breed/raised turtle. he will for the most part only eat natural foods. keep up the good work with urs sounds like u have been doing well to have them for so many years.
