Sulcata looking for a home

[hamiltrg]

I found a tortoise the other day and I am looking for its owner. If nobody comes forward, I need to find it another home. Right now, it is in our fenced yard. We live in the Tampa area. Any suggestions on how to find it a home? It looks like a very healthy sulcata. Probably about 20 inches and about 25-30 pounds.

Hi hamiltrg:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

Put up fliers on the utility posts around the neighborhood where he was found. Ask your kids to go door-to-door and ask people if they've lost a tortoise. Place an ad in the newspaper ("found" ads are free) and on Craig's list.

Hello and welcome, I sure hope your able to find it's owner...

This is a well cared for tortoise. They are escape artists. You will find the owner with some effort and they will be so happy to get their pet back.

Oh my, that is a beautiful and well taken care of Sulcata! I don't think you will have any trouble finding it's previous owner. Post flyers around and maybe in your local grocery store. Also call any exotic pet vets in your area. When I was in my vets office there was a huge sign for a missing tortoise. Thank's for taking him in!! That was really nice.
