LOST

Red-eared slider turtle, 4-inch shell

Posted on March 22, 2026

Description

I lost my red-eared slider turtle yesterday around 3pm near Bayfront Park on Front Street in Traverse City. It’s a little over 4 inches across the shell, green with yellow stripes, and you can spot the red patches behind each eye. There’s a small crescent-shaped white scar on the left edge of the carapace, which is a telltale mark if you spot it. I’ve been keeping it in a bright blue plastic tote with a clear lid that I labeled 'TC Turtle' in black marker; the tote sits inside a soft towel in my car. This turtle is part of our family now—my daughter adopted it from a shelter last year—and I’m really hoping it comes home soon.
