LOST

Red-eared slider turtle, 4 inches, shell nick

Description

I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on University Street in West Lafayette. It’s about 4 inches from head to tail, olive-green shell with the distinctive red stripe behind its eyes. There’s a small nick on the left edge of the carapace and a faint yellow line running down the center of the plastron. It means a lot to me—it’s been part of our family for years and it carries sentimental value. If anyone finds it, please reach out; I really need to get it back.
