There's a great endeavor you're undertaking. I sympathize with you. Some of these turtles are used for medicine too. Turtle meat is also supposed to be good for your health, according to Asian customs.

I'd look into other matters regarding these turtles. A big turtle needs lots of room, so like nonhuman(?) said, you're in it for the long haul.

It eats me up these people transport turtles under these conditions, and perhaps someone should be alerted as to this turtle trade. I think there's now a law being enacted in Asia to prevent turtles from being exploited.
