Default Some advice needed

This is going to break my heart but I think I may have to get rid of my babies. My boyfriend is coming over to live with me from Alaska and I obviously need more room in my house - no doubt we will be thinking about settling down and maybe starting a family - and I feel that I won't have a lot of time to take care of my turtles. I have had 2 of them for over 4 years and 1 of them since Feb this year. I am really confused and don't know what to do. Do I give them to someone who is experienced and will take good care of them? It will really upset me to give them up.

If you really feel you'll have to give them up, then definitely only give them t someone you're comfortable with. it will at least help to lessen the blow if you know they will be well looked after.

Are you sure there'll not be space to keep them?

Really sorry for you, I'd be gutted too.
