I'm sure many of you have heard about the many turtle & tortoise confiscations that happen in Asia. Here is a little good news about some that were confiscated earlier this year.
The TSA has worked tirelessly to find suitable facilities to care for the animals around the world.
As a result, 50 Yellow Headed Temple Turtles (Hieremys annandalii) have a new home in Florida.

Arriving at their new home;
Their new guardian(L) & myself(R) with an adult pair.
These have found a safe place to live out their lives & will help safeguard the species.
