Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am visiting Seattle from Alaska and I found a three toed box turtle in a parking lot this morning. I have tried finding a reptile rescue but no luck. The shell is slightly cracked but the turtle seems healthy and full of energy otherwise. I think the shell can be repaired with epoxy. It does need a little TLC. Beak needs a good trim and the toe nails are way overgrown.
I'm willing to repair the shell and trim the toe nails and try to trim the beak down a little. The problem is I leave to go back to Alaska next week and this turtle will need a home. Anyone in the area willing to take it? I'm staying on 35th Street SW.

If so, I may be able to rehome it for you. Or, meet halfway between Seattle & Vancouver, WA to save me time.

You likely have long since rehomed it, but if it is still in Seattle and still needs a home, please contact me.

Seeking Box Turtle or Russian Tortoise for Free/Rehome/Trade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have decades of reptile experience, and I’ve previously kept Slider & Painted turtles. I currently have two snakes in 55-gallon and 100-gallon vivariums.

Our one-acre yard is very shaded, partly converted to a nature zone, and has a frog pond. I want to add a land-based turtle or tortoise. I would keep it indoors in cool months; and allow supervised play in the yard & frog pond in warm months.

I prefer a Box turtle or Russian tortoise.

Unemployed, I have no money for rehoming fees. I can trade for a heat reflector & cover or bulbs, an illustrated kingsnake book or a Miami corn snake.

Or, take a turtle rescue from a home no longer able to care for it, in a situation of mutual benefit. I *will* provide a long-term home with proper diet & care..
