Dear All - 

 

So good to know there are many so many people who are caring for these
wonderful terrapin.  I only wish Dr. Whitfield Gibbons' long-term Kiawah
River study wasn't looking doomed to extirpation.  

 

Or is there a chance I may be wrong?

without knowing the provenance of the individuals, releasing them into the
natural population associated with the Kiawah River could confound future
genetic studies that might be carried out in this long-term project that is
continuing. Probably better that they go to educational outreach programs if
possible. - whit

If more terrapins need a home, might the Kiawah River estuary here in South
Carolina be an acceptable location?

And the winner is.. Jack Berlin's new Terrapin exhibit in Tampa at Upper
Tampa Bay Park last week.  They will live in their native habitat in an
outside Taj Mahal !

Russ,

I can probably assist you. FWC often uses outreach animals like this, and we
currently don't have any DBTs. I'm not sure that we can take all five
animals, but I would be happy to discuss some potential solutions with you.

 

Thanks,

Brooke

I have 5 adult Malaclemys terrapin macrospilota as a result of a
confiscation. They now need permanent homes out of the pet trade. Ideas?
