Hi turtle lovers, my name is Zady, I'm the mommy of a red ear slider and a yellow belly slider. I'm happy to be part of this community, I was willing to share my experiences and learn even more every day about this amazing and beautiful reptiles. I named my turtles Dorothy and Donna, although to be honest I'm not sure if they are female or male. I found Dorothy first walking on the street near a lake, I pick her and take it home, same day I went to PETSMART and buy her food, a friend gave me a 10 gallon Tank and I bought some gravel and stuff. A week after my husband & I decided to buy 2 more turtles so they can be together, just that the turtles we bought were yellow belly sliders. Sadly one of this turtles died a few days later, I think she was sick of the eyes, I couldn't save her, that made me feel terrible, and I couldn't. Her friend Donna got sick too, but I start re search at the Internet and I bought medicine for turtles eyes, medicine for the water and she got better
