Myrtle's Story

Myrtle aka Murt the turt is a female sulcata tortoise who is about 14 years old but only weighs 9.8 pounds. Myrtle is very social and and a great eater, currently chomping on greens, grass, and hay. Myrtle has been in a foster home with our rescue since October 12 and is ready to go home with her forever family! Since Myrtle is a very large tortoise, he/she will need at least a 25'x12' enclosure. Outdoor pens must be secured into the ground at least 12 inches to ensure they will not dig and escape. If you are interested in adopting Myrtle, please reach out to us at christinaspets@netzero.net or start an inquiry on this page. 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.
