Default Red Eared Slider needs new home

I have a red eared slider that is around 12 months old and measures about 6 inces.

I think its a he, but am unsure, he/she has been following around what i think is a female map and 'vibrating' his/her claws over the maps face.

I am willing to consider a swap, please contact me if you are interested in giving him/her a new home asmy current cet up is a little small.

It is not uncommon for RES to have stunted growth due to small enclosures or bad diet , not saying it is though and I hope the person does not take offence.

Stunted?
6 inches is too large for that age.

Are you measuring it correctly? You should just be mneasuring the shell.

I need to check the mesurement, its a rough guss, might be 5 inches.

Not 100% on age either, thats why I said roughly, I got him from a guy who was keeping him in a tank that was too small. so he may be stunted.

he is in a decent sized set up now, but he will soon outgrow my set up
