Photo request policy
*
Please acknowledge that you are aware we cannot provide pictures for individual photo requests of animals. We provide photos that are representative of each species and adopt out animals that meet our standards of health and aesthetics. We understand this is disappointing to some people, but the labor and time saved is needed for our conservation efforts and enables us to adopt healthy animals to interested parties much more efficiently.
Your participation in our adoptions program aides us in providing care for our animals and for our conservation programs abroad. We will not entertain photo requests at this time, sorry.
I accept that I will not be able to request photos of individual animals, and acknowledge that the Turtle Conservancy will provide photographs that are representative of each species and will adopt out healthy animals that meet our high aesthetic standards. Your participation in our adoption program aides us in focusing our efforts on international conservation programs and providing the best possible care for the animals in our assurance colonies.
