Clara-Belle

Please visit ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com to apply to adopt Clara-Belle.<br/>ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com/las1719<br/><br/><br/>AGE AT ARRIVAL: Approximately 9 years old<br/>ARRIVAL DATE: October 19th, 2024<br/>BREED: Mississippi Map Turtle<br/>GENDER: Female<br/>LOCATION: Hamilton, Ontario<br/>ADOPTION FEE: $100 <br/>NOTES:<br/>Clara-Belle was surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services by her owners when they could no longer accommodate her needs. Miss Clara-Bell is a large turtle, and she requires a large living space. Thankfully we had an open foster home who could provide just that! We got Clara-Belle out of the shelter and she went to the vet where she was received a clean bill of health. She was very active and curious while at the vet. Such a sweet girl!<br/>In Clara-Belle’s foster home, she has 300 gallons of space in a turtle tub to swim around, bask and explore. In the warm months, Clara-Belle is lucky enough to have a 2500 gallon turtle-proofed pond outdoors where she can spend her days enjoying the sun and nice weather. Here's a video of Clara-Belle's first time in the pond: https://youtu.be/7umFdYAr0zE<br/>Clara-Belle is shy, but she’s friendly. She will take a dive off her basking platform when someone comes into the room, but she comes back up to say hello when she realizes there is no danger.<br/>We’re requesting her forever home provide at minimum a 200 gallon tank/tub so she’s able to live out her days in comfort.<br/>Potential adopters who are new to turtles will need to do lots of research into their specific needs as far as lighting, food, environment, etc. A large turtle is not a pet to acquire on a whim, and they are a very long-term commitment. The average lifespan for most Mississippi maps lies somewhere between 15 and 20 years, but when kept properly, a Mississippi map turtle can live for up to 30 years or more.<br/><br/>These websites are good places to start researching a turtle’s needs:<br/>* https://www.petmd.com/reptile/species/mississippi-map-turtle<br/><br/>* https://www.rvc.ac.uk/Media/Default/small-animal/documents/Map-turtle-care-sheet%202016-1.pdf<br/><br/><br/>Please adopt Clara-Belle!<br/>??<br/>Visit our website to apply:<br/>ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com/las1719
