Listing Description
Looking for a new home and I’m ready to move in!
6 year old male red ear slider. Turtle comes with everything seen!!! 75 gallon tank measures 48 x 21.5 x 15 with stand and top, heat lamp, 2 medium reptile filters, 2 small water heaters, large basking area with additional large basking rock (depending your setup), river rock, bubble stone with bubbler, 2 buckets, siphon, glass scrubber, and extra food.
Sliders are an invasive species here in MD so you can’t just take the tank and dump the turtle! If you have a manmade pond in your yard, he did spend 2 years in an outdoor pond prior to living here. Sliders can live 20 years in captivity.
Currently healthy with no health issues prior. Hard $300 as the tank and stand alone are worth more than that. Everything is pretty big so a pickup or minivan will be needed to transport. Some lead time will be needed prior to pick up as tank will have to be drained so likely pick up on a weekend.
