Hi, I’m Biscuit

Hi, my name is Biscuit and I'm a Saw-Shelled Turtle looking for a lovely new home!

I am curious and inquisitive, but on my own terms! So, I love to watch what's going on around me, but from the comfort of my tank. I will come out of the water and bask on my platform to soak up the UV, then swim around to my heart's content!
I have a well-rounded diet of juvenile pellets, leafy greens, crickets, prawn and fish pieces.

To keep me happy and comfortable I require a decent sized glass enclosure with furniture, a water heater and filter, a basking and UV light or even better, once I'm big enough, an outdoor pond. I will grow up to 20cm+ in shell size and 2-3kg, so make sure you plan out our future together!

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