Turtles for adoption?

A neighbor who lost their home to foreclosure gave me her two terrapin turtles, they are the small kind that can live in fish tanks. Unfortunately, the only fish tank i have is full of goldfish, and the terrapins started eating my fish! Any ideas where I can take these turtles so they can be adopted by someone? I took the turtles in as a favor, but I don't want them to eat my fish, and I don't want to invest in another fish tank just for them.

    Look for a local herpetological society near you. http://anapsid.org/ might help. If the turtles are not red-eared sliders, you might try a turtle rescue. If they are RES, it would be cheaper to buy a second tank.

  • Try craigslist, depending on what type of turtle they are, you might actually get a good amount of money for them.
