Autumn is a social butterfly ready to find her clique. She is constantly seeking human attention and demanding shell scratches and cuddles.

 

This girl is quite active and always ready for her next marathon! Although she may not be the fastest, she definitely picks up speed when outside, exploring all there is to see. 

 

She is a good eater too, always clearing her plate of a variety of greens and veggies. She’s not too picky and seems eager to try all sorts of goodies! 

 

She would love a large enclosure with a nice basking area to get her “tan on” and large hides to snuggle up under at bedtime. 

 

If this socialite would be a good addition to your home, then reach out today!

Geode is a petite girl for her age—weighing around 407 grams and measuring approximately 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. She does have noticeable pyramiding from her early care, but with the right setup, it won't hold her back from living a long, happy life.

 

To stop any further shell issues, she simply needs a dedicated adopter who will pay careful attention to proper UVB exposure and essential calcium supplementation.

Geode thrives in an outdoor setup requiring a minimum 6x6 foot enclosure equipped with reinforced borders and a no-dig fence to keep her safe and secure. Her ideal habitat features a reliable shady spot to beat the heat and a shallow soaking area for proper hydration, alongside a nourishing diet of varied grasses, weeds, and a weekly boost of Mazuri pellets and protein.

Adopting Geode means preparing for an incredible, lifelong journey with an animal of nuanced needs. As a Sulcata, she will eventually grow to require at least a 10x10 foot reinforced outdoor area, and because these tortoises can live for decades, she is truly a legacy animal who will likely outlive you.

 

If you are ready to invest in a rewarding, multi-generational partnership and provide this special girl with the attentive care she needs to thrive, Geode is waiting for you!

Woody is a cutie with a wild spirit! Originally found living the rugged life in the woods behind someone's house—despite not being native to Texas—this handsome fella is now doing wonderfully and is officially adoption-ready.

 

While he proudly marches to the beat of his own drum and prefers a hands-off lifestyle rather than snuggling with humans, he gets along great with other tortoises and will actually follow you around like an eager little puppy when he's looking for some afternoon entertainment.

 

Woody thrives on a varied diet of recommended grasses, weeds, weekly protein, and fresh fruit treats, and he would be in absolute heaven in a secure, covered 6x4-foot outdoor enclosure that protects him from bird predators while letting him rule his very own independent outdoor oasis.

Adrian sports a unique look thanks to healed shell damage from a past dog attack, giving her a ton of character that matches her big personality. Because of her history, she can be a bit defensive around other tortoises and pets, so she will thrive best as a solo star where she can reign supreme as a devoted and endlessly entertaining companion. True to her bold nature, Adrian loves trampling all around her domain and exploring every inch of her space.

To keep this lively girl happy, Adrian requires a minimum 6-foot enclosure filled with plenty of grassy plants, plenty of shady spots to relax, and adequate overhead coverage to protect her from birds if kept outdoors. Like all tortoises, she needs proper UVB lighting and heating to keep her shell strong and healthy. When it comes to mealtime, Adrian never misses a bite—she absolutely loves munching on her grasses and weeds, and she eagerly gobbles up her weekly protein and Mazuri pellets without letting a single piece go to waste.

 

If you’re looking for a girl with loads of personality, unmatched resilience, and a spunky spirit, Adrian is the perfect addition you’ve been waiting for!

Frederick is an easygoing fella who measures 4 inches long, 4 inches across, and a petite 310g. He is a total character who truly enjoys his space—digging through his substrate, trucking over his bridges and logs, and plowing over his grasses like a tiny force of nature, before melting into the absolute cutest leg sploots while taking a basking nap.

 

Frederick is a hard worker as he grazes on his greens all throughout the day when they catch his eye on his roams, and you can practically see the appreciation in his eyes when fruit and flower time comes around.

 

This precious tort requires a minimum 4ft indoor space that will grow into a 6ft minimum enclosure as a full-grown adult, and a dedicated, yard space covered to shield him from birds for the warm months is fantastic.

Apple is a cutie tort with a personality as "crisp" as their namesake —always fresh, full of energy, and ready to tackle a new day of climbing and roaming. Weighing in at 574 grams and measuring 7.5 inches long by 5 inches wide, Apple's sex is still unknown, but their vibrant spirit is unmistakable.

 

Apple is a very outgoing little explorer who loves to climb and roam around the enclosure, frequently pausing for cozy naps and champion basking sessions after long adventures. While outgoing with people, Apple is quite shy and submissive around other tortoises, making a single-tortoise home the ideal setup.

Apple enjoys munching on fresh greens and loves crunching on Mazuri pellets, though they occasionally need a little gentle coaxing to finish up their protein.

 

Because of Apple's active nature, a spacious 4-foot enclosure is required now, with a 6x4-foot minimum expected as they continue to grow.

 

Apple is still a bit too small for full-time outdoor living, but enjoys supervised strolls outside in a covered area for extra enrichment. If you are looking for an active, basking-loving companion to brighten up your home,

 

Apple is ready to explore their way into your heart!

Tortellini is a handsome tortoise who is ready to step into the spotlight and become the absolute center of attention in a forever home! Surrendered by a loving family whose busy life made it hard to give him the time he deserved,

 

Tortellini is already well-adjusted to the hustle and bustle of a lively household. While he loves tucking himself deep into his hide for long, cozy naps, he is an outgoing, social little guy who happily emerges ready to interact and never turns down an opportunity to take a leisurely stroll around his space. He has a healthy appetite for dark, leafy greens, though his future family will need to limit fruit treats to just an occasional luxury to prevent any bloating.

 

While Tortellini's shell does have a slight cosmetic indentation at the top, he shows no other signs of deficiencies, is completely healthy, and has decades of love left to give.

To ensure Tortellini has plenty of room to roam and explore, he requires a large enclosure, with a minimum footprint of 4x2 feet (though a 4x4 foot or larger tortoise table is highly recommended for this active species). His new habitat must be equipped with high-quality, proper UVB and basking lights to support his ongoing shell and bone development.

 

Tortellini is the ultimate low-maintenance yet highly engaging family pet, making him the perfect fit for a dedicated home that is ready to spoil him, watch him explore, and dote on him for many wonderful years to come!
