I have a RES that I got about 3 months ago. I have been letting her run around my 2 bedroom apt. She then goes back into her tank. I let her out last night when some of my friends were over and after a while I decided to put her in the tank but couldn't find her! I have been looking for a day now and it has been a full 24 hours since she has been lost! I tore many things apart and still have yet to find her. The thing about her is she is slightly larger than my hand! She has never disappeared like this before! I took everything off the floor and moved around furniture, checking under, behind, and in. The temperature where I live has been 50's and 60's now and I am worried. I have tried different things I have found in other forums, plates with water and some food, a small bin with water and fish and a ramp. a basking spot....she has not ate anything off any of the plates or has made her way to the basking spot. I am even thinking about getting a 2nd turtle to find it!? Any thoughts? :(

Keep the doors closed while you search room by room, item by item. RES will hide in tight, dark places when they want to be alone, so she might even harder to spot. If you have uncarpeted floors, keep an ear out of any movement as well - especially early mornings.

Did you ever find your turtle?
