Was wondering what all was involved in the process of adopting your BTs, did you do it thru MATTS could you explain what, who, where, costs, requirements, ect., congrats by the way on your new boxies, they are very nice. Any info would be very helpful to myself and possibly others.
Thanks,

Katrina Smith handles adoptions for MATTS and her contact info, as well as some general information about adopting from MATTS, is linked below. She posts on the Herp Law forum here at KS with some regularity.

Yes, Katrina is VERY helpful and knowledgeable. And as a MATTS adopter, the process is easy and as pleasant as you could imagine.

My MATTS Eastern juvies:

depending on the sex ratio I end up with on my easterns when they are full grown, which I already am certain about a couple of them and should know next year, I may need to balance things out and I think that might be the best way to go, to add one or two adults. Thanks again for the info.

I just saw this post, tx guys for stepping in and giving up the info!

Yes, Katrina was very easy to work with. Costs are reasonable. Turtle arrived in excellent condition.
