So after parking the car and walking home i stumbled upon this little guy

Then he started to take a shit everywhere so i put him in the sink

Crawled everywhere making noise so onto the cutting board he goes :ilied:

Seriously though what am I susposed to do with a turtle. No name tag or anything (for obvious reasons). Maybe if he had a name collar or something LOL

Where did you find him? I have seen wild turtles before but of course in a park with lakes and such

[Geoc]

Looks like a tortoise to me, where did you find it precisely? Some people release their tortoise into parks when they cant keep em anymore.

Do you intend to keep it or do you plan to release it again?

[LP700-4]

I live in residential area nowhere near a park so I doubt its a wild old. Hot ass day but i might go knocking on some doors later see if anyone has any info.

[murd0c]

I would give Reptile Rescue a call, they will be able to re-home it.

I had a bunch of turtles a few years ago.. and after a while they grew way too big for our tank/house, but I didn't want to just release them in some random park or something.

I found this place in Abbotsford that takes in any unwanted reptiles. They seem to be mostly running off of sponsors, so I made a donation to them in person as well.

The Reptile Guy Rescues Reptiles, Lizards and Surrendered Reptiles (http://www.thereptileguy.info/)

It was a bit of a drive, but I knew I'd sleep better knowing they're adequately taken care of.

Please don't make turtle soup out of him :(

[trip]

if you cannot find a home for it, please contact me.

i have kept tortoise, ball pythons, geckos and chameleons and still have housing, lighting to home it.

[LP700-4]

Found the owner who lives couple houses down. Apparantly it ran away down half a block in approx 20 mins. Who says turtles are slow haha.

Kind of wanted to keep the little guy in the end :okay: Maybe ill get one as a pet sometime

[trip]

They range from $300 up or visit a reptile expo ;)

They're surprisingly nimble... Tortoises not so much, but I had a red eared slider before and he ran away - from our 8th floor apartment :QQ:

We never did find the body, and nobody reported it.. To this day we don't exactly know what happened to Myrtle. :QQ:

Was it in China? if so I'm sure you know what happened to her :ifyouknow:

[jeedee]

best thread i've read in awhile :lol

good on you LP700-4 :thumbsup:

i guess your member title would now be:
"Returner of Lost Phones...and a turtle" :joy:

[SkinnyPupp]

The little guy is worth 300? :pokerface:

Maybe i should've kept him after all :joy:

All jokes aside (semi-notjoking), owner was more than happy to have been reunited. Makes my day to see someone so relieved. Im sure some would've had other plans for the turtle but I wouldn't since I'd hate to be the one that lost it.

WTF? SERIOUS? escaped a house?

1) Who the heck loses a turtle ? That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time.

2) Kind of gross you put him on your wooden cutting board...

1) Animals can get away

2) I'm sure they have soap somewhere in the kitchen

haha i used to have a red ear slider named turbo. buy them when they're the size of a twoonie and eventually he got quite large. he was named turbo for a reason lol. id set him on the floor to look at him, id turn my head away and the bugger would sprint across the floor and went under my bed...took a LONG time to get him out!

ps - feeding them is fun when they get a bit bigger. throw a bunch of feeder fish in a tank with him and he'll just eat them when hes hungry lol.
