Hello, I was wondering if anybody had information on the Pacific Northwest herpetological society? I was told about a box turtle they had for adoption so I went to the site and checked it out. I called the adoption line a couple times now and also there are regular number and have not heard back. somebody told me that they are not an active group anymore. Is this true? Is anybody here a member? I really am interested in adopting a box turtle and I'm disappointed that I have not heard anything.

Is this the site you went to? I kinda looked through it (as I have not had direct contact with them) and there appears to be upcoming events listed as well as their newsletter seems to be ongoing every few months....? Perhaps inquire of the person that told you they were defunked how they came to that ?

Yes, that is the site. It does look like they have more events coming up, including this weekend. But they don't seem to be managing their phones so I don't know. I have talked to a couple people here from the forum and both of them have said that the group does not appear to be doing much anymore. But they haven't stopped their website or canceled events as far as I can tell. We'll see, I'm just impatient I hate leaving messages and not having them returned.

I know of another person that has left 5 messages over the last month regarding the same turtle. I used to see their booth at the Seattle Reptile show but I have not in recent years.

Well, at least if they ever do answer the phone the turtle will have a home with somebody. They must not be too desperate. do you know if they're registered for this year in Seattle?

I don't have a clue if they are registered. You could contact the show organizer and ask. search Northwest Reptile Expo

Teres, I've got contact info for the show people. Ok. Never mind, I just realized you do as well in that you'll be at the Portland show.

I don't think I'll be able to make the Portland show because I will probably have to have eye surgery. but I am hoping to try for the one in Renton.

I'm sorry, can't help it! I will know more this coming Friday. I may still be able to sneak into Portland, I may have to hitchhike but that's okay

Not ok to hitchhike.

Not ok to hitchhike.

Okay, if you say so. Maybe I'll take the train, or maybe I'll be able to catch a ride with somebody. Like I said, I will know more on Friday as to what my January plans are going to be. any hints on any box turtles yet?

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Not yet. I'll keep you up to date.

I see that this group is going to be at the Portland reptile show in January. I will try to get there.
