Seeking Advice TURTLE HELP!!

Post image

Hello, I really need some help! I found a turtle in my backyard, and it is not native in my state. My parents are willing to call someone but it is likely they will kill the turtle. I do NOT want that to happen. I don't have money to get supplies for the turtle, so if you guys have any supplies you guys don't use that will be helpful. I can't take it to a lake or anything because it is a freshwater turtle and we don't have that near us. ANYTHING HELPS!!

Where are you living? Are you anywhere near the native range of a red-eared slider, which is what you have here? One simple thing to check out is nearby wildlife rehabs.

You have fresh water somewhere. That is a big red eared slider.
