I live in Orange County, New York. Looking to adopt a young adult/ adult Russian tortoise. Willing to travel to pick up. Would pay a reasonable rehoming fee.

Tortoises are not easy to care for:
  • Start up costs for a decent-sized enclosure and heating/lighting fixtures are fairly high.
  • Temperature levels must be near exact to prevent them from becoming sick. They require a large amount of room, far more than what new owners don't realize.
  • A typical tortoise diet is far more complex than your average domesticated pet.
  • New owners need to learn a great deal before jumping in and getting themselves overwhelmed.
