Meet Shelly, a yellow bellied slider turtle! She and her three friends were recently surrendered to the VHS. Since they are a non-native species in southern Indiana, they cannot be released to the wild and must be indoor pets. They will need tanks at least 4 feet long (per turtle). While they are pretty interesting, they won’t be a low-maintenance or cheap pet, so adopters will need to do a little reading before committing to these reptiles. Each turtle’s adoption fee is $10. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!
