2 Sulcatas need a good home in Central FL

[justiceprevails]

We have 2 healthy Sulcatas that need a good home. One is about 2' and the other is about 1.5' across. We believe they are M and F. We want someone that will feed them a proper diet because we have see the messed up pyramid shells that occur from a friends that refused to feed theirs properly. We are in Tampa - does anyone know of a rescue group or someone that would provide a good home?
you can also remove all the numbers from the following and email me [email protected]

Are these up for adoption or for sale?

Adoption was the plan - But if there is a market - It wouldn't break my heart to recoup some of all the money we have spent on food. When we got one of them he/she was about 1.5" the other we found walking in the street a couple of years later.

But isn't the first one a desert tortoise?

If you are not in a hurry to get rid if them, i bet you could find a buyer that would give them a good home... I usually see sulcatas around that size posted on Craig's list for a month or two before they are placed. I also have the contact info for a sanctuary that might be able to take them, but they probably won't pay for them... And, yeah, why do you have a photo of a gopher tortoise in your post???

Apparently it was a street walking city tortoise - I guess times are hard on everyone for her to resort to street walking.

This may not make sense - but for some reason I feel if I sell them on Craig's list instead of someone on a forum like this - They may go with someone who doesn't have a clue about their requirements. A dedicated adoption organization or someone that at least reads a forum like this would give myself, wife and son a "warm and fuzzy". Mostly my wife and son - I've been looking for tortoise recipes - Kidding....

Just to be clear, your only talking about the two tortoises pictured together, correct?

 

[justiceprevails]

Yes but they are larger now. Probably twice as big.

 

[Tropical Torts]

I would be interested. Just sent you a pm

 

[fiveash]

I would be interested i dont live to far away. I have a handful of turtles who all live in a out door enclosure and currently build a new for my tortoise i recently got and would love him some company.

I finally see what is confusing everybody, I accidentally posted a pic if a gopher tort that my kids took at an animal rescue years ago. Ignore the 1st pic of the single tort. It is the pair that we are trying to place.

I'm not sure if you have Lund a home yet or your torts. I recently helped place a couple, they went o a great family but I am aware of a place in polk county that will take them for you. They will not pay but were willing to meet me or offered for me or come see what they could offer them. PM me if ou are interested in the information. ( I'm in lakeland by the way). Good luck!

 

[turtlebrad]

This is the smaller one

 

[mayday29150]

Do you know yet if they male or female

 

[justiceprevails]

My son tells me they are one of each. I have to take his word on it. He does his research normally - I know he keeps on us about feeding them a proper diet...

[sibi]

You mean to tell me that these beautiful specimens haven't been adopted yet? If I lived in central Florida, I would grap them up. Com'on Florida, don't we have any takers?

 

[dustee35]

they are awsome! Makes me want to get on a plane and come and snatch them up. Did you ever think about shipping them? The cost would probably be high though. Hmmmmmmm. Deanna
