I have friends with many other species - such as redfooted, Star, Hingebacks, Box tortoises, Red Eared Sliders, Radiated, Sulcata, Leopards and many more.

I am willing to re-house/re-home( or organize the rehoming of) tortoises that can not be given optimal conditions in their current environment, in modern, clean safe environments - go to front page and click on Re-homing service for more details. 

On this site there are  pages with photos of my accommodation, my tortoises, care sheets, and general comments about collections of tortoises that I see around the country.
