Our featured turtle of the month of October is BR. BR is a 6 year old male Red-eared slider that was a pet. The sad thing is that he was housed ALL those years inside in a 20 gallon aquarium half full of water with no basking or UVB light of any kind! He is called BR because his aquarium was in a bathroom. An aquarium is no place for an adult RES, let alone a 20 gallon one only half full! We can't imagine the boring life that must have been for him. He was only fed commercial turtle pellets. It's amazing he only has moderate pyramiding on his shell. BR is now outside getting used to a new stimulating environment and diet. Soon he will go into a GCTTS rehabbers 5,000 gallon inground pond for the winter. In the Spring if he passes his post hibenation exam, he will be released into the wild.
