: Justin,
: If someone has babies in another state where they are not native, can they legaly adopt to you?
: tcc
: : History: Growing up as a kid, my grandparents owned and bred desert torts. After I moved away from my home in AZ, my grandparents gave them away. Now I have returned to AZ, I have a love for tortoises and currenlty have 24 of them covering 9 different species.
: : Yesterday: I made my first phone call trying to adopt a baby or adult Desert Tortoise. I read all the care sheets availlable and pretty much know what I am doing. Unfortunately no one answered the phone at the agency. Message left.
: : Today: Phone call returned, adoption official wants to inspect my home and yard (No Problem) official informed that I own 24 other tortoise, her response "That might be a problem". I was then given the impression that if I had never owned a tortoise before, I would stand a better chance of getting one than I do now. Hmmm. So I guess they would rather place the animal with novices, then with someone who knows what they are doing. Official tells me that I must maintain my other 24 torts inside and "my" desert tortoise outside. That seems a little excessive, my yard is over 3000 square feet. So now I am guessing I will not be able to adopt a new tortoise, can anyone explain to me why the fish and wildlife rules are so ridiculous.
