Thanks for your generous offer

over the last few weeks Ive been given and found loads of turtles i think its because no one has got the money any more for there upkeep plus the sizes of turtle Ive been getting are to big to be kept in a standard 100 liter tank an going to try to get the new setup built scrapheap style i keep skip diving looking for goodies

We have lots of various different turtles, all but 2 have been rehomers. You will need to quarantine any new arrivals though, just in case they are carrying something. It is certainly becoming a problem - there are so many requiring new homes/being dumped - if only people could be bothered to research before buying that cute .50p sized slider/cooter, who within a few years, if female, reaches 12" plus.
