Hi everyone, a friend of mine is after a tank to rehome a turtle, sharing her Facebook post here:

Ok Facebook friends and your network...a call out for a large tank to rehome a Turtle (known as Mr Turtle)..that was at Karen's. He was Shane's and We are going to rehome him back at ours (he is a well travelled reptile)In the interim until life is more settled and certain in Kaikoura. His large tank was completely shattered in the quake.There really isn't much room at Mums for him there to reset him up.We left our aquarium back in Oz when we left Brisbane so need to get a new (second hand one)and the bits and pieces to set it all up again. He is a penny turtle who would now be 15-20 years old (a good size)...thank you in advance....
