Wanting a tortoise

[Jess]

I live in Fort Worth tx, looking for a tortoise to adopt. He will be much loved and cared for.

What type are you looking for?

 

[Jess]

A russian is my first choice but I would take any.

How much are you looking to pay? Or do you want to adopt a rescue?

Love your avatar picture!

I would pay $60 for one.

$60 isnt much. Do you have an enclosure ready? With everything you'll need for him it'll end up closer to $300. Not counting the actual tortoise. And I hope you've read this: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/80698/

Yes I know it's not much. Thanks for that info. Very helpful. I been doing a lot of research and reading up on tortoises. I started building the enclosure. I have a pile of bricks left over from when we build our house. So I used them to build the enclosure. I will post a pic when done.

I'm glad to see you're thinking about an outdoor habitat rather than indoors. Russian tortoises really do much better outside. Here's another good article for beginners:
