Red Eared Terrapins

[Rich1981]

Hi,

Can anyone give me any advise on where to purchase a red eared terrapin. I have kept two of them for a number of years now, and sadly afew days ago one of them died. I am now in the process of finding a new friend for my remaining terrapin. The shop I originally bought them from has closed down and I can't find anywhere that sells them

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

just a thought but i would look to some rescues as lots end up in rescues as they outgrow the tank ? not sure if there was even some for rehoming in the classifieds here very recently hth

here you go, dont know if its gone but might be worth asking the rescue about one ?
