About this Turtle
Hi there, my name is Darwin and I'm a Diamondback Terrapin! Did you know that Diamondback terrapins, being adapted to brackish (a mixture of freshwater and saltwater) water, require a specific environment to thrive? I will need a very large tank (holding at least 100 gallons of water) with some dry land to bask in the sun. I'm a very sensitive guy with sensitive skin, so you'll have to keep my water extra clean! My ideal enclosure will have a strong filter and recirculator, as well as a dry basking area with suitable heat and UVB lamps. Once I'm in the perfect environment, you'll be able to see my personality shine! I'm super curious and love to greet you at the water's surface. I'm a big fan of eating pellets! If you're looking to adopt, please bring in a picture of your already-assembled setup for me to come home to! If you're interested in learning more about me, stop by and ask for Darwin ID#A962979 I am located at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94014 Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week.

Adopt Darwin and Receive Darwin's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Darwin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Darwin's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Darwin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Darwin's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Darwin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Darwin’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Darwin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Darwin’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
