This girl came in late last night; an unknown age female yellow bellied slider. She is in rough shape. Two ladies wanted to get her out of a bad situation as she was being severely neglected. She has an eye infection; her front left foot/ankle is definitely swollen, very weak, and an old injury on top of her neck where it appears scar tissue has built up preventing her from tucking her head in all the way. She was left in a laundry basket for a few days outside of his place of residence; she was so dry when she came here last night from not having access to water for days. She had a mountain of retained scutes which I peeled off before I took this video. I’m honestly not sure she is able to swim as she seems so weak to barely keep her head up and not sure how well she can move just yet with that swollen ankle/foot. Thank you for the two ladies who came to get her to try to give her a better life. Hopefully she will make a turn around, gain strength, be able to swim and we can get her eyes back to normal again.

This is why we always make sure adopters have a secure; dig proof outdoor enclosure. We get a lot of calls every summer for lost tortoises: especially sulcatas.

Amongst the turtles today; this goldfish and snail came in as well.

Turttwig here is back up for adoption. Unfortunately her adopter has to move to Texas in a month for work; so they had to pass on this guy. We believe Turttwig is a male how currently presenting; 10 years old. When he came in we were not aware of his leg issue. However has gotten much much better after treatment and dremmeling of the carapace so it wouldn’t cut his leg open anymore. He is doing excellent and may have some scarring due to this. Bit has been healing extremely well. He is great with his foods and very social. If you may want to give this boy a forever home; please contact us. Adoption location is Palmerton Pa, no shipping. Minimum size enclosure is an 8x4 indoor pen and outdoor pen for warm months. Thanks to our foster Sabrina for treating the leg the past month and a half.

Poor Norman here is still available for adoption. The few people that inquired had ghosted on him. He is a 1.5 year old male spider ball python. Good with handling and eating FT small rats with no issues. At this time; he shows no sign of any corkscrewing or wobbling. He really is a great boy and deserves the very best of homes. It will be a year soon that he has been with us. Obviously proper husbandry is still a must. Adoption location is Palmerton Pa; no shipping.
