Looking to rehome 1 of my Ca. Desert tortoises…

Is there someone in Southern Ca that takes in desert tortoises? I have 2 males who dont get along. I have had them since hatching, my gram gave them to me for my girls. I think they are 8 years old now and I feel bad keeping them together with this stress. One is always trying to flip the other over and they have only woken up not too long ago and already fighting. I let it slide the last 2-3 years and built a divide in their habitat even but they just dig to get to eachother. Hate to let one go but this isnt healthy for them to live stressed ether.

This is another good example of why tortoises should not be kept in pairs. All the best wishes for the rehoming!

I agree. I had read that after my gram gave them to us. I figured this would be the outcome although I held out hope they would be the exception.

Ive had to contact 2 different CTTCs lately over found tortoises and both were more than willing to help. I was given 2 8mos old sulcattas because of family illness and no time. They were taken in by CTTC of the High Desert no problem.
I was floored by how many missing tortoises were posted on Next-door just in my town over the past few months! Like 7 or 8. The number of red-earred sliders found wandering was unreal!! Like 10+! Our town on the local news because a huge sulcattas was found wandering down the street! The owners finally came forward.
Does anyone watch their tortoises??? They underestimate them that's for sure!!
