Exclamation 2x Red eared sliders

I have *FOUND* 2x red eared sliders locally and managed to find some housing for them temporary...
there is agression between them both and had to split them up so now have two tanks running currently

one has only one eye and has been subject to abuse from the other it seems so thats when I split them... other than that appears to be happy and plodding along and does hand feed

I can't house them and dont want them to be put to sleep anyone interested in taking either one of them or both PM me or reply to this thread.


I live in Middlesex not far from Harrow/Watford

Does the one with one eye cope OK? (feeding, swimming etc)

yeah does fine eating. and swimming
has a wound currently where its other eye was... But it seems to be healing fine.
I'm sure its a birth defect not a lost eye due to injury.... as the wound has incured via the other turtle

adorable when hand fed some times misses but does get it.
and does a very adorable turn of the head before going for food..
if I had the space I'd keep her (assume its a female has a shorter tail)

Is it just that one you're looking to rehome?

Ideally both, but if it's just the one then thats fine,
as I can house the other comfortably untill I find a new home for the other,
as mentioned these were abandoned and I happen to have spare tanks as I'm an avid fish keeper
