So I have a yellow bellied slider. He became my mate when his brothers/sisters kept getting run over at a workplace, I would throw. 2-3 back on the lake every day but many were run over by Golf carts and stepped on. So about 7 years later, I have one I brought home and had been in a tank swimming his whole life. As in full water, float on logs when tired. He has never complained more than when I leave him on the floor to exist. He loves the water,and for the longest time liked being fed by us... So I assumed that meant he isn't scared of us. I am curious if I moved to a half water, half plant situation if it would be to drastic for him? I don't want to hurt him, he's obviously family to me at this point. I keep draining his tank to make sure it is clean enough, but I was drawn to thinking, what if. Because he got along with 2 fish he knew as he was young for years. He would kill everything else. Everything. Fish, shrimp, crawfish anything. It his 2 friends, he kept no matter what. 1 died 2 year ago due to a water clean transfer I guess ( or at least I call it my fault). The second died of age or loneliness. Turtileman no longer has friends and I don't know how to broch new friends without him just eating them... Any advice?

I'm thinking maybe plants, cleaning fish and self sufficient, but a turtle says no lol

The kids found this little guy stuck in the pool filter, so now we have a pet #turtle, any advice on taking care of these guys? Pretty sure it’s a baby common musk turtle

I’m just gonna start posting 🐢.

I did my best to get this shot as good as I could.

Strong shell and feets for marching.

I couldn't let Donnie stay in the wild because sliders aren't supposed to be here, but he looks really comfortable underneath his jungle of raspberries, basil, and potatoes while he basks on a bed of moss.

i havent been taking care of this turtle community because i dont know how,and i dont have many pictures of my own turtle to share. does anyone wanna take my place here?

I forgot the species of this one, but its invasive to Canada cant be set free. Also in turtle rehab.

Ive been helping at an animal rehabilitation centre, and today i was shown how to properly handle snapping turtles and not lose fingers.

Little turt was returned unharmed!
