About Spotty and Speedy
Meet Spotty & Speedy!
These two turtles are looking for a new tank to call home.
At the age of 15, both Speedy and Spotty have been very well looked after.
Both living in a 4 foot aquarium each, with a heater, ramp and UV light, they are used to a life of luxury. Their water temperature sits at a comfortable 22 and 25 degrees celsius, which is perfect for them. Being in 4 foot tanks currently, they are looking for more room to swim! Bigger tanks or an outdoor pond would be fabulous for Spotty and Speedy.
While they haven't been handled a great deal recently, they used to love a mini massage on the underside of their shell. When handling them, they can both be a little squirmy, so make sure you've got a good grip!
When you're holding them, they prefer to be facing you, that way they can get an up close look of who has them, and not feel like they are flying through the air.
Water changes should be done regularly, with aged water and with a water conditioner at each change.
When you are giving the water a freshen up, Spotty and Speedy like to be out of their homes, and in a bucket with high walls to dry off.
Being in the water is their safe zone, so if you walk up a little fast to them, you may find they will quickly duck into the water.
Although Spotty and Speedy have been together for a very long time, they like to be acquaintances and not best buds. Having separate homes for each to call their own is best, as being together they tend to butt heads and argue.
If Spotty and Speedy could eat 24/7 they would! They are super food orientated and will never say no to a feed. In saying that, it's not great for their livers to eat every day. Their current feeding schedule is a dessertspoon of pallets twice weekly, and on Saturday mornings they get a nice piece of white bait.
If you are looking for 2 new housemates, Spotty and Speedy would love to hear from you.
Spotty and Speedy's adoption is an assisted adoption via PetRescue’s Home2Home program. You will be speaking with Spotty and Speedy's owner when you enquire
Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s owner - the person who knows them best!
It’s a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
From here, the owner will be in touch with you to chat a bit more about their pet, and if they feel your home is the best fit, they will arrange a ‘meet and greet’ for you all to get to know each other.
Should this prove successful, arrangements will be made for the pet to move straight from its current home into yours upon payment of adoption fee. Change of Ownership paperwork will be completed, vetwork history will be provided and your new family member will be snuggled on your couch in no time!
