    FEATURE - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-Superfan beherbergt 1000 Schildkröten
    Michael Butcher with his large collection of 1000 turtles, Staplehurst, Kent 31st July 2018. See National story NNTURTLES; A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle superfan has fulfilled his childhood dream by filling his home with more than a THOUSAND turtles. Michael Butcher has converted his home and back garden into a turtle and terrapin sanctuary, and nearly every room is filled with them - including his mum's bedroom. Terrapins, or sliders, are semi-aquatic, freshwater turtles, and bask on land, rocks or floating branches throughout the day. Along with his mother Denise, Michael gives abandoned and unwanted terrapins a home, often nursing them back to health. And the 38-year-old has plans to build plenty more sanctuaries in the future - because he just can't get enough turtles. Michael said: "When I was a child I loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - all I wanted was a turtle. / action press *** Local Caption *** 27184254
