Kenya 's Story

Kenya is an adult West African Mud turtle, estimated to be on the younger side. She is very outgoing and curious. If you’re in the room, Kenya wants to know what you’re doing! She loves digging in her sand, so having sand in her enclosure is a must. Kenya is a little girl who deserves to be spoiled rotten, and once you meet her, she’ll convince you of that, too!<br/><br/> We ask that you have a 75 gallon tank at minimum for her. While we would prefer an adopter already knowledgeable in turtles for Kenya, we are open to helping those who are still learning, and understand that Kenya is the queen of the castle. <br/><br/>If you’ve been keeping up with her story on social media, then you know that she came to us with a mystery, that has since been somewhat-solved. <br/><br/>Kenya was surrendered to us, after a long road of being unlucky. Allegedly, she was first dumped in a lake, later to be found by a passerby. That passerby took her in with good intentions, but not the best caretaking. When she was surrendered, Kenya’s shell and body was oozing what appeared to be blood. After all testing and studies performed on her came back as normal or inconclusive, our vet team ruled it as something topical. <br/><br/>Since, Kenya has undergone extended foster study, trial testing, and has been passed as healthy by our vet socialists. With over a month of no further ooz activity, and the conclusion of (whatever it is) being topical, Kenya is ready for her forever home! <br/><br/>We will not ask for an adoption fee, but would appreciate supplies be donated in Kenya’s honor.

Approved applicants are asked to share photos of their enclosure/setup to ensure the animal’s needs will be met. Once everything is reviewed, we schedule an adoption arrangement and finalize the adoption with a signed agreement. Adoptions are permanent commitments, but animals must be returned to us if the placement does not work out. We also provide ongoing support and are always available to answer questions after adoption.
