I found a home for her! its in deland which is about an hour and a half away from me. so im going to go shower and take her over. the man has a reptile rescue. im so excited. im going to post pictures later when i get back so that you guys can see her new home =]

It's very nice of you to put so much effort in to finding her a home

Here are some pictures of her new home =]
The first one is her on the way over, the second one is with the man who adopted her letting her go into her new home (please excuse my brother in the way). the rest are her going in. she jumped in right away. I think she will like it there and its protected from any predators. Thank you so much to everyone for your help. Im so glad that I know shes in a safe home with lots of food =]
I named her Ninja by the way, becasue at first I thought she was a boy and she was so sneeky like a ninja haha.

yay! happy ending....
i wonder if she layed eggs in your mulch pile>?

 

[Mewr428]

lol turtle heaven =]

and i really hope she didnt lay eggs. I was told that she was just burrying herself to get out of the heat though. and if she was laying eggs she would only use her back legs. She was def all the way in there so I think she was just hiding. Hopefully she will lay eggs in her new home where they will be taken care of.
