Not if you are giving him away for free. To sell, yrs there are rules that must be met to sell.

Thank you for your response.
I will only surrender her to a tortoise loving family with Sulcata experience for no fee. Preferably residing in a warm climate state like central or southern Arizona.

When you list her, be careful of new members that have just joined usually the day you post or very shortly after. They usually only join looking for free tortoises so they can sell them.
Be sure to ask lots of questions and for pictures of what they have for enclosure to take care of her.

Thank you for that info. I would like to meet the interested person and see their tortoise environment. Is it better then to charge a fee to deter those predators?

Usually a fee helps but unfortunately you can not sell on this forum without meeting the rules. But my concern would be more for a dog or cat to be mistreated, used for fighting, baiting, if no fee was asked for.
