Fred's Story

Fred is a 10 year old, male Russian tortoise who was taken in to our rescue on June 30. He has quite the personality, that's for sure! This wild guy has some big feelings and tends to chase you around. He hasn't bit anyone before, but he will come over to you with his mouth open to check you out. We were hoping that this behavior would calm down with some socialization, however, he still has the same feelings about strange things. We have tried to see how he does with other tortoises, but he is not very friendly with them, so he would have to be the only tortoise in his enclosure. Fred eats very well when he has some quiet time to himself and he is not picky at all with his greens. He is looking for a home that will understand his goofy personality and take some time with him as he settles and learns that not everything is scary. <br/><br/>This animal requires an outdoor enclosure approximately measuring 8'x4' for the warmer months. For an indoor enclosure, we would love it if you are able to provide an 8'x4' size enclosure. Proof of habitat will be requested at time of adoption inquiry. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Fred, please reach out to us at christinaspets@netzero.net, text us at 610-390-1655 or start an inquiry on this page.<br/>Must be able to travel to the Palmerton, PA area for pick up.

Christina's Reptile & Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Adopters start by reaching out with an inquiry about an animal we have posted. Then, we contact them regarding the habitat the animal will be placed in, to ensure they have the essentials and are set up for success (picture proof required). After ensuring the adopter is ready for the animal, we set up a time for them to come and meet the pet. If it seems like a good fit on both the adopter's end, as well as the rescue's end, they are able to take the animal home. All adoptions happen in Palmerton, PA. We do not ship animals.
