I think you're all missing the point. Ezaraeld is only 13 years old. He's at the mercy of his folks and is stuck abiding with their decisions. He probably has no money of his own to purchase anything bigger. He has tried to find someone to take the turtle to no avail. He is taking the only option available to him. So I think its time to get off his back. He probably feels bad enough already that he has to get rid of the turtle. We're making it worse for him. If you don't have anything constructive to offer, then zip it.

There are such a variety of the Turtle Temples...and if you have looked and feel good with the one you have selected, then do so and be sure to write something for you and the turtles journey.....:D

I think that's the only option left...

I can't keep it (my tank is too small and its probably gonna be stresssed out from the small space)

I can't release it to a lake after keeping it for 7 years.

The turtle will be contained but has a better living condition then my tank

with less turtle, more water (and a filter), basking corner

Sounds like you have taken all into consideration and have made the best choice....after he is there awhile he will adjust and get along just as the others...maybe find a buddy or two or three to hang out with.....:D

I truly believe that no act of kindness is ever wasted. It is very clear you care a lot about your turtle and are doing the best you can. That is a wonderful thing to do, and I think you are a great person for trying so hard!

Is the temple close, perhaps you can visit him? I am sure he would be happy to see you and you won't have to miss him too much.
