They are adults, about 5 or 6 inches long. They weren’t getting proper care as it was. They now have everything they need for proper care, but I am 75 and don’t want pets that will outlive me. The tank was hard to clean and they now live in our bathtub. (Glad we have another bathroom!) I figured I’d just release them, but now realize that is a bad idea. There seems to be no sanctuary willing to take them. I will not get them euthanized. Please advise me. I am at my wit’s end wondering how I can get these little guys to a good home. Wish in a way I hadn’t gotten involved, but I care about them as well as the environment. Please help me. We are willing to take a road trip if there is a place they can be released safely.

Is there any thing I need to know. I’ve never owned a turtle before.
