African Sideneck Turtle

2555 west blvd, Belleville IL

Description

I have had this turtle for about 5 years because someone gave her to me after owning her for a couple of years, so I do not know how old she is, but I am guessing she is between 6 and 10 years old. She eats a lot of live mealworms and I've given her a few waxworms, but she doesn't eat anything else. I've tried feeding her a variety of pellets, live and dried crickets, and dried mealworms, but she never has eaten them. I could keep her, but I hoped someone else who is knowledgeable about this type of turtle might be looking for her. She is housed alone (sidenecks can be aggressive with others) in a 40 gallon aquarium with an aquarium heater and I keep a filter on it to keep it clean. If you could provide her a good home with plenty of mealworm meals, I'd like to re-home her. If you need the 40 gal aquarium, a filter, a heater or the light, let me know and we can work out some kind of deal so she has a great life with everything she needs.
