From the Foster Family:
Big Mama is a 10 year old red-eared slider. She is very curious and has a healthy appetite! She loves all kinds of turtle foods and treats! She will splash the top of the water with her front feet to get your attention and it is so cute! She swims right up to anyone who comes to her tank to say Hi. She eats frozen adult turtle food cubes, turtle nutri sticks, shrimp chasers, freeze-dried chicken/duck/fish cubes, and dried shrimp, crickets, and mealworms.
Big Mama is a big girl and will need a 100-gallon tank due to her size. She will also need an adequate basking area that can hold her weight and size. She loves to swim but also likes to rest outside of the water. She likes to explore her foster home and enjoys some real sunshine in the warmer months (must be supervised outside at all times.)
