		<description>hi - Thanks for the comments.  I do not know where Spot came from. I will keep him as long as he&#039;ll have me.
Thanks -

		<description>hi again, michele
i got an answer from my conservation professor and he also forwarded the question to a turtle expert at the university of ottawa
here are their responses:

&quot;I am certainly no expert on turtles, but I would suspect that &quot;Spot&quot; would indeed do fine if he was released close to where he was originally found. I would not recommend releasing Spot anywhere else for two reasons: Spotted Turtles seem to require fairly specialized habitat (as you know), and you want to be sure that Spot will join members of the same population (especially if these turtles have local adaptations).&quot;

&quot;If you are not sure of the exact location I
would keep spot or give him to a educational organism if you no longer can
take care of him.&quot;

hope that helps!</description>

		<description>hey michele!
sorry it took me so long to reply to this
but at this point, i&#039;m not sure if direct release into the wild is such a great idea
as you said, it has been living domestically for a long time, so it may not know how to survive when alone
what i would do is try to contact some conservation groups or specialists in your area, maybe they could give you a more informed answer
i hope that helps!</description>
