I want to keep my turtles shell

Submitted by AveRose on 09/04/2002. ( ivythorn@hotmail.com ) 24.126.149.239

Okay this might sound very strange. But my little turtle had passed away last night. I really loved my turtle and would like to keep her shell. She was a red eared slider and I had her for over a year. She is no bigger than my thumb. I guess she must have been a dwarf. Anyways, I don't think I can handle having to do it myself. So is it possible to hire someone to do this? I live in West Los Angeles, near the westwood area. Please help me out, boy I feel like a creep doing this but it would be a shame to throw that shell away. :(
Please write to me if you have any information.

If you want to mail it to me i can easily take care of it. You could send it out second day air for about 20.00 as the shell is very soft on young sliders, as it is not a dwarf, just a baby. I would charge you 40.00 plus the cost of return shipping which would be 4.95 priority mail. Let me know. I can be reachred at my new phone after friday at 603-669-6503, ore-mail me today as my e-mail address will change as of friday or saturday, and i do not know the new server as of yet
Thanks
Tom

What you got to do is put it in an ant pile and come back the next day, especially if you live in LA where there is tons of fire ants every where, but make sure you bury it a bit so that no person or animals will take it
