what to do with my terrapin (labi-labi)?

[blackgammon]

Hi, I have a one-year old labi-labi, it's about 2 1/2 inches (shell only) long.
My aquarium is getting small and I can't afford a bigger aquarium due to time and space constraints. I can't make up my mind whether to:

1. let her go (I think it is a her based on my previous experience on red-eared sliders), meaning, release it or
2. putting her up for adoption.

Anyone? Anyone can give me any suggestion? Or is there any turtle lovers out there who already have a purpose built turtle aquarium/kolam that doesn't mind a new member?

If it is better to release her, where should I release her? river? lake?

I really love to continue having her, but I am expecting my first baby in 1 1/2 month time, so I don't think I will have much time for her after that.
I wish I could have a bigger aquarium or build a small kolam for her, but I don't have the space and time as well.

Anyone? anyone? ...

Hi Black. Assuming your terrapin does not get adopted and you plan to release it.....try not to release to our rivers and lakes. Perhaps you can give it to a chinese temple instead. I know that in Ipoh, the hill temple's have kolam's with lots of terrapins.
