Listing Description

For more than a decade, I have been rescuing turtles and torts in need of homes.

Animals acquired from kids simply losing interest, kids heading off to college, elderly, injured animals, and those fallen victim to neglect.

I keep a variety of species, predominantly cold tolerant as II don't take in one's that will not thrive in my outdoor climate year round. Such species like Russian torts, diamondback terrapin, red eared sliders, cooters musk, Herman's, and box turtles.

They live in naturalistic, outdoor enclosures and ponds, where they are free to exhibit natural behavior and overwinter outdoors.

If you or anyone you may know have animal in need of a new home, feel free to reach out.

Sincerely,

Edd of Ed's Habitat

Make sure that when you want to buy Turtle online or from somebody that it is legal in your state. It is not allowed everywhere to keep them as a pet. Make sure that you are following state laws and procedures just so that you, your environment and your lovely pets are safe. Please inform yourself about new pet that you want to get and talk with people who had experience with those animals. Especially when you are getting exotic pet. It is very important to know as much as you can if you want to make sure that you and your new friend have happy and joyful life and relationship. Please remember that exotic pet is not domesticated animal, and they should be treated differently.
