    Hi everyone, This is very hard for me… but I recently broke up with my partner of 6 years and we have a beautiful diamondback terrapin. Unfortunitly because of the many hours I work, I know I will be unable to take the proper care of Zippy and its not fair to her. Zippy was found as a hatchling in may of 07 and we have raised her(we think its a girl) since. I have her in a glasscages custom 50 gallon tank with everything. I am posting this here because I know this group is passionate about diamondbacks and someone will take the best care of her. It breaks my heart, but I hope someone can adopt her and take care of her. Everything is included, the stand, tank, food, filter heater, light etc. Please help. I am located in North Carolina and hope there is someone that can come to where I am or lives in North Carolina and will take great care of her. I thank you all for your help in advance. I dont know how to paste pictures of Zippy and her tank. Please email me at mikgraniela@… if you are interested. thank you, Michelle

    Hi Michelle, I’m just up the road in Richmond, VA, and I’m interested. Do you know what kind of DB? Where are you located, and if you figure out pictures let me know. I could come and pick it up. I’m sure you’re not just giving this stuff away, so how much money are you looking for? Thanks, Brock
