The SPCA would never be able to find a good home for them. There are some respectable turtle shelters ,but you have to pay a lot of money to send them to it.

But i think im going to let this one slide..i cant afford another one.Ill keep a look out around miami too see if anyone wants her? I think theyre is this place called "snakes" around north miami that takes in reptiles.You might wanna look that up in the yellow pages.
