Hi everyone! My name is Rachel! I am currently on the hunt to adopt my first tortoise! Been a dream of mine since I was little, but now I have a house and a stable income and there’s no better time! 💚🐢

Hi and welcome to the forum! Do you have a species in mind? How much space are you able to provide? Are you thinking about getting an adult or a hatchling?

Hello and Welcome
Please read our different care sheets for each species you are interested in. This might help you decide on the exact kind you want.
Do you want to adopt an older one or buy a hatchling?
Be sure to not get a pair. Tortoises can not live in pairs.

Yes, thank you! I have done done research on different breeds and am leaning towards a Burmese Star
Be sure to do your care research on this forum. So much of the info out there is wrong or outdated.
You won't likely find a Star to adopt and a hatchling will be easier to find than an adult most likely, but they are a beautiful tortoises. Btw they are species not breed.
@Tom raises one kind of Star as there are two.
