From the Foster Family: Smalls is a male yellow-eared slider who is approximately 5 years old. He is very lively and greets anyone who comes near his tank. He loves to follow people around. Smalls is about 5 inches long from head to tail and is expected to grow as he ages. He is a good eater. His diet consists of 1 leaf of lettuce daily (the size of his shell), then pellets every other day as well as the lettuce. He is also given 1 little piece of shrimp daily as a treat.

Smalls is a very fun and silly turtle. He loves swimming in his tank and basking under his lights. At this time, he will require at least a 75-gallon tank due to his growing size. He will need a large basking dock that he will be able to climb up onto. Smalls is a very majestic animal and there is something to be said about the qualities that a turtle possesses. He is graceful, joyful, and calming. Smalls is our daily reminder to slow down and go with the flow.
