My dad's job is going around to different shops and inspecting welding projects so that they can be sent out. I went to work with him and we were at a shop that I was familiar with so I was walking around and in the middle of the shop I found a baby red eared slider the size of a quarter!! It was so cute, I begged my dad to let me keep him so he said yes, i built him a tank and named him Leanard

I'll post pictures soon.

I have a 6 year old red eared slider who is currently in a 55 gallon tank with a 10" pleco, 5 goldfish, and around 30 minnows He is so fun to feed worms and watch him swim around the tank ,eat fish and bothering the pleco. His name is rocky. Yes, he is a boy. I found him on the side of a really busy road when i was walking my dog and brought him home when he was about the size of a quarter. I've also kept box turtles.
