Thank you for your interest in taking care of the little guy. Would you be able to send me a picture of him so we can verify it is a Desert Tortoise?
Since you found it in a residential area, it is probably someone’s lost pet. We recommend you put up signs for about 48 hours and see if someone claims it.
DO NOT release it. Captive Desert Tortoises can harbor diseases that can be deadly to our wild population of the Desert Tortoises. You wont need to fill out an application for it for another 2 years. We do not require an application for hatchling tortoises.
ha I barely see toads t my house et alone a tortoise we live in the pa so a tortoise isn't native I guess box turtles are and garden snakes but I never seen a snake or turtle in our backyard I wish I saw on like you guys
So how's the tort doing, OP?
I see snakes, toads, frogs, and snappers mostly. Most common are toads followed by frogs, then snakes. Snappers not so common. Think I've seen five since living here? Been here 9-10 years. All the other snappers I've seen have been when people called me going OH MY GOD GIANT DINOSAUR HELP ME. The five I saw on my own, though? One on a highway, two in my creek, one in a field near my creek, and one on my grandmothers front step.
I see lots of toads that's it only my parents saw the snakes lucky my dad let it go before I came home from school
