| Unwanted Turtles and Tortoises (please read) |
| Have a turtle or tortoise that you can no longer keep but would like to find a new home for it? Here at Garden State Tortoise, we have plenty of room both indoors and out to house a large number of these animals. Our yards are equipped with large ponds and pens able to safely contain both aquatic and land dwelling species. We are always open to taking any unwanted turtles and tortoises off your hands to ensure them a happy home. Don't let them end up in pet stores or in a place they will most likely be euthanized. Contact us today by filling out the form below and submitting it to us. We will do all we can to help you out. |
| *RED-EARED SLIDERS*-Please keep in mind that due to the extremely high volume of unwanted red-eared sliders, we may not always be able to take them into our care. Our advice to all new turtle hobbyists is to do definitive research on any species you are considering keeping BEFORE you make a purchase. Red-eared sliders are BIG turtles. They need a very large swimming area and do best in outdoor ponds/water gardens. Inside, they prove to be problematic once they go from a tiny, cute, quarter sized baby to a fully grown 8 to 11" monster adult. They are messy eaters, very aggressive and water changes must be very frequent. Thanks to places like China Town in NYC and other irresponsible dealers who fail to inform their costumers of the reality behind these large turtles, many of them end up dead or are released into natural ponds outside of their native range. In return, native populations, usually those in decline, suffer greatly, or are completely wiped out. |
