Frankly, not expecting any to care but its...good to try to "talk" about things. Provided theres anyone willing to care to listen.

As per my last post. 1 of my 2 red-eared sliders passed away. Im guessing sometime in the previous night. It kinda hit much harder than expected seeing as i raised em from hatchlings for 11+ years. So I was indeed attached.

Now only the female(the sister*) remains. They supposedly live up to 20yrs. And my intention once finances got steady was to get them a bigger paludarium with more room to swim and get on land. I am just so sorry it never came to be and that if ever so. He'll miss it.

I shouldve realized things were off when he wasnt eating as much. So this falls on my shoulders. So I'll just need to keep close tabs on the female till I can finally giver her a far better environment.
