Need to rehome my two redfoots in Florida

Hello, I need to rehome my two five-year old redfoot tortoises, a male and female, to good homes. I am moving and am uncertain whether I will have the means to take care of them. They currently live outdoors in separate pens but come inside when the weather is too cold. I have contacted a rescue in my area but have not heard back so wanted to give this forum a try. I am in SW Florida. Please message me if you want more information or photos.

There is a dedicated redfoot service to receive and disperse redfoots in Florida
I have no direct experience with them, but many people seem to like working with them.

Thank you!! I've sent them an email.

Please keep us updated.

Every tortoise "sanctuary" I've encountered here in south Florida was either a very unhealthy hoarder situation or a flat out for profit reseller of tortoises.
Use caution.
I have absolutely no experience with this particular sanctuary. I've never heard of them. That alone gives me a little concern, but if you find them to be legitimate, please let us know. Id absolutely LOVE to be able to have one to reccomend.
I wish I could help you at this time. I'm just not able to take in any more animals right now.

That's actually excellent news.
I've found absolutely no one that is even remotely trustworthy here in south Florida, including one that was briefly a member here.
Port Saint Lucy is about an hour north of here. I have not dealt with them. I'll keep my hopes up.

I've become very defensive because of all of the scammers. Certainly some are legitimate
