West Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Probably the strangest thing that happened to me, I was fixing my rear tail light at home during my lunch break, i spotted a TURTLE! I was like wtf, i couldn't believe my eyes and right next to me was my dog and i was supprised that the dog didn't see the turtle. The dog could be in luck or maybe its the Turtle but one thing for sure, if my Dog did see the turtle....that would be WAR. Maybe the rain was pouring down therefore the dog got distracted. Anyway now what? I was going to release him back into the wild, Yarra river maybe...!! .......but i was thinking it must be someone's PET and it might need rehabilitation in order to get back to it's nature so maybe RSPCA!!!???

madbung Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Mmmm.. what to do? Get cold beer,make salad, boil pot of water... I think your right re: someones pet, unless you live near a dam..still they don't like to wander too far. My advice don't get to attached to the little fella they're great pets but extremely stinky and high maintenance if kept in a tank.

Bec Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Call your local RSPCA. If they wont take it they will advise you the best place/people to contact.

They are cool as, but kind of high maintenance if you call the RSPCA they will tell you to take it to your local exotics vet or the zoo. i'm 99% positive a person has to apply for a reptile license to own a turtoise. if you need more info, the veterinary specialist centre my work is affiliated with has an exotics vet. here is his website davidvella.com.au Edited December 3, 2007 by into oblivion Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196128-i-found-a-turtle-in-my-backyard-wtf/#findComment-3510965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam-__- Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Best bet would be to take it to your local RSPCA or reptile shop. You don't want to release it back into the wild in case it attacks local animals like the cane toad.
