Meet Slidey, the unofficial DWC mascot!

[polaco23]

Found this little fella (Red Eared Slider) in my grass while mowing the lawn. A bird must have grabbed him and dropped him into the grass, since he still had his egg tooth (meaning he was only born that day). Well i decided to keep little "slidey" in a spare 10 gallon tank which was partiall sand and partially water.

I was planning on keeping slidet until he was large enough to care for himself, then release him into the stream 2 houses down, but he wouldnt eat my buffet of lettuce and bloodworms (exotic fish food i had leftover in my freezer from my late puffer fish (RIP Shawn, you are missed) ). So after a few days i put him back into the wild, where he decided to bite my finger HARD for all my trouble. The little shit!

Anyhoo, here are some pics of the little fella with two of my favorite divers.





he's a climber!


Caddy, bike, beer fridge, turtle........im all set for a good time!


Notice the egg tooth on the front of his nose






Smaller than the OS300M for sure



Here he is admiring the Aqualand

SWEET!


I'd Just call him Turtle





Or Johnny Drama at least..

[Chris S.]

what is he 34 mm , the size of a justdate ?? You should name him ROLLIE

[CGSshorty]

I made the mistake of bringing one of those home about ten years ago. They grow HUGE, and they stink something awful. I had serious filters on his tank and nothing could stop the funk from coming back. They are cute though.

Damn, there isn't even enough hide on him to make a strap. Fatten him up Dom and get back to us in a year.

[SCM64]

Good job saving the little guy Dom.

[cali kid]

Sorry to hear about Shawn, I warned you of the emotional consequences of naming him.

funny you mention that, i just learned what the hell a "flymo" is, and to our US members, please check it out!

Did you guys know the rest of the world uses friggin hovercraft lawnmowers?!?!?!?!?! no im not kidding! these things float on the grass, making it easy to push, can you believe theyve been hiding this from us all along!

whoah, i just googled flymo and hit a link, taking me to a white supremacist forum.

apparantly google image it at your own risk, but check it out!

[snootydog]

Yeah man...its a hovercraft mower,all mod cons here these days. You need a pilots licence for the sit on version Here's the best bit....no worries if you miss clearing the dog crap,it hovvers right over it then sucks it up neatly into the grass box .

[Brian D]

I was gonna say a turtle in Michigan . That's pretty cool though .

[merichar]

Cute little guy but you'd better fatten him up-he's only cup o soup sized.

[Pasquale]

[quote="Diaboliq"]SWEET!

[Rick-Holland]

mmmmm ........ not even big enough to make one strap of it ;-)
he's lovely!!

[bloozy]

Cool! His shell will make some awsome watch dials one day!

[scrutinize]

He's cute! I had one that size a few years back...had him for about 2 years....btw you can get regular turtle food (dried like fish food) at any pet store and even some Walmart's carry it
