MY TURTLE GOT OUT

my aquatic yellow bellie got out of her cage!!! so now shes somewhere in my backyard! my back yard isent TOO big.and it has a chain link fence around it.i dont think she can escape from my back yard,so i still think shes in there somewhere.the bad thing is theres alot of tall grass a pond (which im pretty sure shes not in,and a BIG shed that she can crawl under.

SO my question is do you think i still have a chance in finding her? do you have any tips on how to trap her safely or lure her out of where ever she is? oh and some helpful info is this happened 2 days ago and shes about as big as my palm stretched out.

if you can help me in any way ,please cantact me.i love my turtle sooooooo much! and i really want to find her and bring her home

they always go to the water....they know exactly where it is by instinct

All my turtles that have gotten away from me are ALWAYS in the river a quarter mile away from my house.

(one was under the couch for 2 weeks once....but was perfectly fine....I also had one under a bed for two days.)

Good Luck!!!!!!!

well before it was in a 100 gallon aquarium.and i just hope that it will get in the pond so i can find it.and i hope she can crawl into it,cuz its an above ground pond.its about a foot and a half tall.

what do you think?
