Brighton: Elon the musk turtle rehomed after record 1,579 days

Elon was fully grown when he was abandoned.

“We don’t know much about him before then,” Mr Bark added.

“Elon was quite a personable chap really and he was easy to handle when musk turtles can often be smelly and quite bitey.”

The centre has also rehomed a group of nine tarantulas found in rubbish sacks left outside Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare in Lewes before Christmas, but remains on the hunt for homes for a number of royal pythons.

The RSPCA said it had dealt with 846 incidents of animals being abandoned across England and Wales between 18 and 31 December, the highest number for this period since 2018.
