Hi, I’m Barry

Hi, my name is Barry and I'm a Brisbane River Turtle looking for a lovely new home!

I am a curious guy that enjoys following you around as you walk past the glass and basking under my lamps! I looove my food, I get to eat cut up fish and prawns, crickets, chopped greens and pellets.

I will need to be housed solo for the rest of my days as I have papillomavirus, which other turtles could get. I have had treatment and am ok now, but will need a fabulous owner to keep an extra eye on me to make sure I stay happy and full of beans!

To keep me comfortable I require a decent sized glass enclosure with furniture, a heater and UV light or even better an outdoor pond set-up!

If you are looking for something a little different, than I'm your gal. Please fill out an adoption application including a picture of your enclosure/outdoor pond and reptile license.
