Before You Adopt or Post

Only post captive pet turtles or tortoises. Do not post wild turtles, injured wild turtles, protected animals, or animals recently taken from the wild.
AllTurtles does not accept listings for turtles under 4 inches in shell length.
Ask about species, size, health, enclosure, diet, supplies, legal status, and local pickup details before adopting.
Use our turtle rescue center finder if you need rescue help instead of a private adopter.
