Adopt Oogway a Sea Life (non-fish) reptile, amphibian, and/or fish in San

Location:

San Marcos, TX

Description:

This Russian tortoise is at a foster home in central Austin. Oogway came from a PetSmart or Petco in 2021. He has been living indoors in a large, refurbished tortoise enclosure. He was allowed to roam the home / patio supervised. When he came out of brumation the family felt he was more stressed than normal - pacing and digging a lot. The family is moving to a place without a patio and wants him to have the attention and space he deserves in an outdoor enclosure. Every time a Mediterranean tortoise (Russian tortoises, Greek tortoises, and Hermann's tortoises) comes to the rescue, I personally promise that animal that it will have the best care and that it will always be able to live outdoors where it can enjoy natural sunlight, dirt deep enough for burrowing in, lots of plants and other hiding places, clean fresh water, and a to graze on live vegetation it it's enclosure as if it were in the wild. I also promise nearly every species of tortoise that it is going to an enclosure that is at least 100 square feet to roam that it will NOT be sharing with another tortoise, so it doesn't have to worry about fighting or mating. I can't break my promise to any of these wonderful creatures, so if you choose to open your home and heart to one of them you are extending the same promise to the animal that you adopt. These tortoises are herbivores that should live outdoors year-round and may brumate (hibernate) during the winter.If you submit photos of your small tortoise habitat (with a piece of paper with your name on it or some other form of authentication in the same frame as the habitat) then we will review your application, otherwise your application will expire in 30 days without being reviewed. Pictures should be e-mailed to XXXX@texastortoiserescue.com (this is the only way to submit your photos - please don't text them to me or send them over Facebook). Habitat must include sturdy walls the tortoise cannot dig or climb out of, at least one hide, a water dish, and plenty of grass. Once your application has been reviewed and approved, I'll send you an e-mail that has a link to my calendar so that you can schedule the pick up at a time that is convenient for you. The adoption fee for this animal is $75, payable through the adoption link I will text you during the adoption or by cash at the time when you pick up the animal.
