Temporary catching cap Trachemys (letter turtles)

In connection with a new licence application, we are temporarily not allowed by the RVO to include trachemys (invasive) turtle species. These are the Yellow-cheeked, Red-cheeked and Yellow-bellied turtles. Other types of turtles are just possible to accommodate with us. 

If you want to bring this kind of turtle to us, we ask you to be patient. Unfortunately, the waiting time for this permit is very long because we have a lot of turtles, we expect to have an agreement before March 1, 2022 anyway. You can already register the turtles for shelter, as soon as this is possible we will notify you and publish this on our website and social media. 

If you are in a hurry, you can try it at our colleagues Stichting Carnivora, Stichting Meerzoo in Marknesse or Stichting Almere Jungle

We apologize for the inconvenience.
