 Name: TangoCommon Name: Burmese Python Latin Name: Python molurus About: Tango Came to us after his owners divorced and he could no longer be housed correctly. He is about 14ft and 15 years old. He has found a new home at a zoo where he meets the public a few times a week during the reptile education session. |
 Name: Snapping TurtleCommon Name: Snapping Turtle Latin Name: Chelydra serpentina About: Our latest snapping turtle arrived with us in march 2007, as he had out grown his tank. He has a shell length of approximately 22cm and weighed in at just under 3kg. He is currently waiting to move into his new home which has been offered to him by a public aquarium, where he will be displayed to explain to the public how large this species grows, how aggressive they can be and why they do not make suitable pets! |
 Name: PrescottCommon Name: Common Snapping Turtle Latin Name: Chelydra serpentina About: A turtle with a vicious bite and a temper to match was christened ‘Prescott' by staff at Great Yarmouth Sea Life Centre...after the fiery former deputy PM. His star may be fading in the political arena, but the testy member for Hull was the first person who came to mind when Sea Life's Claire Little took delivery of a large snapping turtle...found abandoned in a boating lake during july 2007. "He's an American snapping turtle, about 18 inches long and we think about 12 years old," said Claire. "He was found by someone cleaning debris from a boating lake at a Norfolk zoo, where we think he'd been surreptitiously dumped by his former owner." After a health check and short stay over winter in the heated conditions at the Sealife Centre in Scarborough, Prescott has come to us so that we can find a suitable permanent home for her (yes Prescott is a female!) |
 Name: Tawny OwlsCommon Name: Tawny Owls Latin Name: Strix aluco About: We recently took in 2 Captive Bred Tawny Owls, after the owners circumstances changed and she contacted uk for help. We don't normally accept owls for re-homing, however on this occasion we had a zoo who had recently opened a British species display and were looking to offer a permanent home to either injured specimens or captive bred animals. the collection took both the Tawny Owls and we are happy to say that they have settled well in their new home. If you have Captive Bred Owls that require Re-homing please go to our links section where you will find a couple of organisations who should be able to help you. |
