major problem is if someone threw in a contagious illed turtle

Excactly...that would kill hundreds if not the thousand in the bunch.

I was born in and then later lived for awhile in Oklahoma, and the OKC Zoo has the same sort of set up. They have just as many turtles and I see pellets in that last picture, which is what the have at the OKC Zoo too, the lave little quarter vending machines like you would buy a gumball out of and then you get a handful of pellets. The turtles love them but in the OKC Zoo at least as soon as you start feeding the turtles a bunch of ducks raid the area and pick it clean of all pellets. So the turtles are hopefully being fed elsewhere haha Great pics though! I love to see turtles who are abandoned actually thriving and it's great that they are finding new homes! I live in Tucson, I will have to check it out next time I make the trip to Phoenix.

Thats Amazing, It's A Shame That Many People Have Disowned Their Pond Animals, But I'm Also Very Glad The Zoo Has Stepped Up To Help. Thanks For The Pictures =]]
