Looking to adopt Hermann, Russian, or Greek

Hey there!

Looking for a tortoise to adopt! I am looking for a smaller tortoise for a 75gal tank. I am willing to travel as needed and cover shipping cost as needed.


I currently live in Richmond VA
Please reach out to me via PM!

No tortoise can be kept in a tank as a permanent home. It’s much too small for them to be healthily kept. Lots of people do it, but it’s not good for them, and really is cruel.

please read this. It’s a lot of information but it’s great you are researching before you actually buy one:

Welcome to the forum Joshua.

A well cared for tortoise makes for a happy keeper, so best to read through the thread SinLA linked for you to give you an idea of what you'll be committing to. Upskilling yourself in proper tortoise husbandry now will save you difficulties down the line, and your future tortoise will thank you for it, especially if you adopt one that has been kept in a small tank!

Which species are you interested in adopting? Lots of information available on the forum regarding species specific care. There are also care sheets linked at the bottom of the 'Info for new people' thread.
