I think vancouver (at least the city of Vancouver) banned the sale of any water turtle like 10 years back. I wont recommand to keep RES as pet anyway. it needs a big tank, like a 10 gallon for 2 babies (size of a loonie) to 50 gallon when they grow big in a few years. also they really stink, you need a very good filtering system to keep the water clean.

yeah don't go turtles unless you're SERIOUS about keeping them for a long time.
There's really no where to "Get rid" of them.
Ponds don't do it.

Yea, HK sells them for like $10 HKD. Here, they go for 50-60 dollars CDN. Make sure you are willing to take on the responsibility before you commit to a turtle. You will need a big water tank, a power filter (Canister type), submersible heater and UV lights = Lots of $$ and time.

The stink part is true if you don't maintain the tank (not difficult but you can't do absolutely nothing), and their shells shed large flakes. When I cleaned out our tank and dumped the old water into the toilet I was surprised at how much crap was in the water. It looked almost like diarrhea.
With that said, our pet RES is a cute but kind of dumb little bugger. Other than the tank cleaning every 3 months or so, there's virtually no maintenance involved. They supposedly live 50+ years though, so get ready for a lifetime of feedings.
