Heribert

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: Red-bellied Side-necked Turtle Gender: male Birthdate: approximately 2019 Description: Heribert is a Red-bellied Side-necked Turtle, six years old. This species is one of the most beautiful water turtles. Due to its water temperature requirements, it should not live outdoors in our regions. As he is very active and loves to swim, a tank size of at least 150x60x60 with a high water level is recommended to meet the needs of this turtle. The tank should provide both a water area and a land area with a UVB lamp. Clean water is also very important for this water turtle, so the water should be renewed about every two weeks, and both an external and internal filter should be used.

Da sie sehr aktiv und schwimmfreudig ist, wird eine Beckengröße von mindestens 150x60x60 mit hohem Wasserstand empfohlen, um den Anforderungen dieser Schildkröte gerecht zu werden. Dabei sollte das Becken sowohl einen Wasserbereich als auch einen Landbereich mit UVB Lampe bieten. Auch sauberes Wasser ist für diese Wasserschildkröte sehr wichtig, daher muss das Wasser etwa alle zwei Wochen erneuert und ein Außen- sowie Innenfilter benutzt werden.

What life with Heribert looks like

Heribert is an adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierschutzverein Wunsiedel in Germany.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Heribert far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Heribert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Heribert?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wunsiedel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Heribert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Heribert if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierschutzverein Wunsiedel what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Heribert already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierschutzverein Wunsiedel directly what is included and what Heribert still needs.
What happens if Heribert isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Wunsiedel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Heribert and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
