Meet our baby tortoises! 🐢 We're caring for them through our Tortoise Adoption Program, which protects wild desert tortoise populations by keeping captive tortoises out of the wild—preventing disease and preserving native ecosystems. Arizona residents can apply to adopt, as long as you're ready to provide a proper burrow, a healthy diet, and follow all legal guidelines (no backyard breeding!). Want to meet these shelled friends and learn more? Join us at Radical Reptiles Cool Summer Night on Sa

Did you know you can adopt a desert tortoise if you’re an Arizona resident? We partner with Arizona Game and Fish to provide homes for surrendered captive desert tortoises that cannot be released into the wild. Captive tortoises can transmit diseases that can decimate the wild population, and they also face low survival odds. Is your yard a good fit for a tortoise friend like this cutie here? We are currently accepting adoption applications through September! We provide all of the necessary info

Spring time is here in the valley. If Idon’t regularly trim back my plants, they completely cover the ground and restrict the tortoises movement through the enclosure so it’s very important to keep them at a manageable length. #desert #tortoise #habitat #animals #Arizona

In a giving mood today? 😉 Why not consider giving a non-releasable Sonoran desert tortoise a forever home? 🐢 The desert tortoises in our care have begun brumation, but we still accept adoption applications year-round! These desert tortoises cannot be released or re-released into the wild. Not ready to adopt? You can also donate to support their care. To apply for adoption or donate to the desert tortoises, visit https://bit.ly/4odkZO6. | Arizona Game & Fish Department

It's a Redfoot Tortoise... It's a 'sulcata' Tortoise... It's BOTH!!! These amazing hybrids live with our friends at Arizona Tortoise Compound. They are the mix not only of two different species, but of two different genera! While purposefully creating hybrids from pure animals is controversial, examining hybrids is VERY interesting and something I'm always excited to do. | Anthony Pierlioni
