So I was driving down a road in my friends neighborhood when i passed a house that had been forclosed and the bank had hired a few people to move all the stuff the people that previously lived there left behind. At first they had just old furniture. And when I was leaving, i saw 2 MASSIVE (well massive in my eyes lol) tanks sitting out in the trash heap!
So i stopped and asked if i could take the tanks. They said it was fine so i proceeded to take the bigger of the 2 tanks and put it into my trunk. I wasnt going to take the 2nd one cause i didnt think i would have a need for another big tank. But im extremely glad i decided to even look at it. Now its about 27*F outside here in Northern Virginia, so its really no place for TURTLES!!!!! i looked in the bottom and these people just emptied the water out of this tank and left 3 LIVE TURTLES IN THE BOTTOM!!!!
I had no choice to take the tank. i know nothing about turtles and had to call petco(rash decision, didnt know who else to contact) to see if it was ok to put them in my bathtub for a little. Im not sure if they are sick or anything but they seem to be fine swimming around and being really activee
Now i would love if yall could help me identify these cute little suckers!
They are all about 2 inches around and are very lively moving around the bathtub right now.
