adopting

Hi! I am looking for a couple tortoises for my children to have lifelong companions! I have a son and a daughter that are both very excited to start their reptile journey. I know smaller size doesn’t mean smaller enclosure, but I want to start them out with something manageable. Through my hours...

Hello all, I'm a new member and recently have been doing lots of research prior to adopting a tort. I found a Russian at a local rescue and I'm applying to adopt, currently building his enclosure outside. However his shell looks a bit discolored to me but I'm no expert so I thought I'd post his...

I was just given a medium sized male Sulcata Tortoise. He’s been through quite a stressful week. He was found on a local hiking trail, likely dumped, and then brought to me. We’ve had him 3 days and for the most part he has been hiding in his heated dog igloo. It’s been a full 24 hours since...

Hi! I am looking for a tortoise that needs a home. As cute as I think hatchlings are I really want to give a home to a tort that needs it. I am in southern/central Florida on the Treasure Coast. I do have a nice sized back yard, and I have areas that can be blocked off for smaller torts.

I am looking for an adult that needs a new home, I can provide indoor or outdoor space. Prefer a smaller breed, not a Sulcata. Maybe a Russian, Hermann, Red-footed, Greek, etc. I don't want to start from scratch with a baby and my grown children are willing to inherit a tortoise. I have some...

Hello, This is my first post so bare with me! We are soon adopting a horsefield tortoise (our first tortoise). Its all been very last minute, but I've done plenty of research. However, due to the time of year (November), the tortoise has gradually stopped eating and so hasn't eaten for 2 weeks...

I have recently started a search for a Russian tortoise. I had one die due to medical complication a few years back. It was a very nice experiencing that short time with him. I have all the proper care materials and time for the tortoise so I’m ready to come get them any time.

My sister has finally agreed to release her Sulcata tortoise to me! Hanu is about eight years old, between 8-10 inches long. Currently, at my sister's house, she lives in a 1ft by 30 inch fish tank, she has no burrow, her substrate is red sand, about two inches deep, and they feed her only...
