I joined yesterday and when I got home he was dead. I found out later from his activity it was a RI.

Sorry for your loss If you decide to get another turtle, hang around here and read up first.

Ya I really only had him for 2 months wich was good since I got him when he was a week old.

Very sorry to hear the news. Two months is a very short life. (I presume he was Joey, or do you have another turtle? If you do, I would thoroughly clean out the set-up.)

He was very small and it's very hard to maintain him. The day before he died I think he was trying to get my attention, but I thought he was just playing around. Thanks for your comments though.

Hey! Jake -
My family got our 5 from downtown LA also. Approx. 4 yrs ago , and today the biggest one is 8 " in length. 4 females & 1 male all doing fine.
Make sure they get plenty of lighting and food and they'll do GREAT!
Try again and this time go to PETSMART. They have an entire section devoted for turts.

5sliders I'm sorry to say my only RES is no longer with me. I buried him today:(. Thanks for the info. though
