Meet Irma Miss Map Turtle (water turtle)
She can also live in a FENCED-IN backyard pond in southern NJ or coastal MD starting in the summer so long as the pond is dug below the frost line (usually at least 300 gallons).
IF INTERESTED IN IRMA email matts_adoptions@hotmail.com with your CITY AND STATE to request an application.
Contrary to the urban myth, you CAN keep turtles in NJ. The MATTS adoption contract proves that you didn't take her from the wild and allows you to get a NJ permit after you adopter her. NJ requires you to obtain a permit after getting a turtle. It's fairly easy to get. Visit https://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/exotic_apps.htm to apply for a permit.
No permit required in the surrounding states.
