Most members on here if rehoming usually won't to someone they don't know.
How about telling us about yourself, what you know about keeping tortoises and what species you are interested in. Also including what you have to house one properly will help to.

Thank you so much for the info! I want to get a tortoise that is needing a new home or buy one from a responsible and ethical breeder. I am now seeing how the reptile pet industry can be really shady. These poor animals pay that price ultimately.Enter your name & what you are looking for in this Adopt a Pet website.

Would recommend using a local pet adoption site as well. Always see rescues and dog pounds take tortoises every now and then. They almost never know what to do with them or how to care for them.

Thanks! I did find a tort near me up for adoption but the sanctuary hasn’t been answering the phones or emails. I’m also trying to find a reputable breeder in Illinois.

If you're in a big city like Chicago maybe you'll have some luck on craigslist as there are usually some people looking to rehome their tortoises. Wish you luck!
