Hi all, I have one RES (didn't know what turtle it was until I googled) about the size of a small dinner plate. I took it in when the security guards at my area found it as my area have a forest nearby at Kota Damansara. I've been looking after it for a few months now, but since I'm going to the UK to study, I don't want my parents to have the burden of looking after it.

I think it might have had a previous owner, but I really have no idea what to do with it now. Keeping it in a large basin at home and feeding it regularly + making sure the water is clean. I'd prefer to give to someone who will give it a home and take care of it well I think releasing it in the wild will kill it because I've seen these RES being sold at nearby pet shops and suspect this one came from there. Any ideas?

What can I do with this fella? I have no choice, as my parents don't want the hassle of looking after a turtle when I go overseas to study. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Do you want a free RES? looking for anyone to adopt this fella.. it's about the size of an iPad.

Recently, I found a Red-Eared slider turtle in my garden. I live in Kota Damansara, PJ - this place used to be part of the Sungai Buloh reserve and recently my neighbour found a cobra in his house also.

Thing is, I don't know what to do with the turtle at the moment. I suspect it is someone else's pet but no one has come to claim it. I'm not in a position to look after it long-term and would be happy if someone could find this turtle a new home... It is medium sized, about 20cm long/15cm wide.

Currently, the turtle is in a big basin and I feed it some vegetables like lettuce and bought some turtle pellets for it. Any help on finding this turtle a new home would be appreciated

Did you guys know that RES is considered an invasive species and therefore banned in most countries? In Malaysia it is also on the prohibited animals list, so no one can buy/sell this species.

Managed to find a good home for the RES I found, so I'm satisfied.
