Other Turtle Discussion :: Adoption

[Mo Milazzo]

Would you adopt your next turtle? Why or why not? Oh, and just for anyone thinking about adoption I recommend Mid- Atlantic Turtle & Tortoise Society and Colorado Reptile Humane Society.

Here's a link to MATT available pets: http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=MD148

And here's one for CORHS: http://www.corhs.org/turtles.html

Seriously, check it out. I know that the Colorado rescue ships via airline rather than UPS or FedEx. They also have some turtles that have been there for over a thousand days! MATT ships most of their turtles unless stated otherwise on the turtles profile. Each site requires an application and fee, UNLESS you adopt a slider (any kind) from MATT. The turtle is absolutely free. When viewing MATT's turtles, you'll see a profile labeled Isis & Lumpy. Can someone tell me what their colormorph is? Absolutely stunning!

Much love,
Mo

I didn't know they ship, that's great to hear.

This is so awesome thanks for sharing! I have seen that color before on this site. If I'm not mistaken there was one that won a few of the photo contest Steve? I think they are not so much a color morph with a label but just lighter colored sliders. maybe from the Northern regions where it is colder and less sunny. Just my theory, I have no clue if I'm right or not:/

Lol, thanks!

@slider_keeper - I think you're right, perhaps Novroz's girls.

Awesome!

I really hope people turn to adoption. I was going to order a morph from TheTurtleSource, but might as well go with adoption. It's my dream to open a pet store that only sells rescue animals. It could be anything from cat to turtle to betta fish. I just want to open a rescue pet store.
