We are a family operated tortoise farm located in northeast Alabama. In addition to our tortoises, we also raise Kenyan sand boas, Kune Kune pigs, and more.
We are passionate about our shelled friends, and specialize in raising 11 different species.
Local friends - come out and see us tomorrow morning at Collinsville Trade Day! We will be bringing our micro squirrels and tortoises, as well as some sand boas and a few other surprises. The temps are perfect this weekend - would love to see y'all there 😎
So excited for these new additions and the start of our own splash projects! Special thanks to Treacher's Creatures for this neat anery splash dude, along with his albino and snow Het splash ((future)) girlfriends 😅.
For those of you who don't know, Kenyan sand boas are awesome snakes, and super simple to keep and maintain! They are one of the smallest species of boa and tend to be very docile. If you're interested in getting one, send us a PM! We currently have several normal babies available, as well as some older morphs.
Just look at it!
APD commonly referred to as "Micro Squirrels." They are so stinking cute! They eat seeds, fruits, nuts, and bugs. Typically housed in glass exoterra type enclosures and live in colonies. Who knew?
Unique opportunity, I have a friend who needs to find a new home for an adult sulcata male around 100lbs. Not free or cheap. PM us.
Lots of amazing animals over here at Tim's Tortoise Fort & Exotics!

These little beauties are available! We recently bought a fellow keepers entire sand boa breeding collection. In order to make room for all the newbies, we have decided to let some of our younger guys find new 🏡.
These are Kenyan sand boas - a super docile snake that's also very low maintenance and easy to keep. Perfect for a beginner. Max size on these dudes is about 25" long - males tend to stay around 15", making these snakes some of the smallest boas in the world! They also give live birth, which is pretty cool 😎. If you're interested in learning more about a specific one, just send us a PM.
Favorite girl in the breeding program ((for now 😏)). Meet Libby, our super gorgeous paradox albino stripe Kenyan sand boa. She's big and beautiful - can't wait to see the babies this girl will make for us 😍
Many of you may not know that my wife Bethaney began her very first reptile breeding venture a few years ago. She has gone from being terrified of snakes to Essentially becoming the "crazy cat lady" of the sand boa world. This week we were blessed by the Lord to add a beautiful collection to our stash of scaly friends. These are the only snakes we intend to ever have. With that being said we would like to thank Full Throttle Reptiles for their generosity on multiple occasions now. I would like my followers to visit and like her page. Buy snakes from her. Her facility is beyond clean. She's been so nice to us. Unfortunately it isn't common these days. We often choose to drive past certain businesses in order to do business with people that treat others the best, its a matter of principle. We also prefer to do business with Christians if at all possible. Why drive to Hixson TN?
Make plans to attend the Show Me Reptiles & Exotics expo in Gadsden, AL this Saturday! We will be there with a variety of tortoises ((ranging from hatchlings to well started sub adults)), as well as Veiled Chameleons, Tokay Geckos, Kenyan Sand Boas, and more. This is always a fun show with lots to check out - can't wait to see you there!

Look who's hatching 👀💚
Seeing these adorably tiny babies, it's hard to imagine that they are the third largest species of tortoise in the world! Sulcatas can reach a length upwards of 30" and weigh between 100-200lbs when full grown 🐢
If you like big geckos here they are...tokays. These are eating machines.
We have em. World's largest skinks.
A few of the adults from our Redfoot group out enjoying the warmer weather this week. They love some sunshine ☀🐢
A long awaited desire for our shelled friends and Charles's Chameleons is almost completed...a greenhouse. If you need one let us know
We have some exciting new critters. These guys are Veiled Chameleons - and we have several looking for new branches to climb!

We NEVER share posts from others on our page - this is a very important issue that has very extensive repercussions for countless pet owners in the US. Please take just a minute of your day to contact your senators about this issue.
The America COMPETES Act of 2022 poses a major threat to the pet community and our hobby. Many of the pets you keep would be labeled "injurious" by the federal government. Taking them across a state line for any reason, whether it's for veterinary care, education, or moving, would become illegal.
Oppose this legislation before it’s too late! More info and instructions on how to contact your Senators can be found here: https://usark.org/2022lacey/
Please support USARK - United States Association of Reptile Keepers so they can continue to help us fight this amendment.
Thank you to Badgerland Reptile Rescue for this amazing infographic!

This post could possibly offend some but in no way should. This isn't directed at anyone in particular and should probably have been made years ago. We love our animals and our customer, period. There doesn't have to be a decision between caring for our animals and our customers. With that being said we have certain policies in regards to shipping. We do not ship during inclimate weather, we consider every animal as if it could be delayed 1 to 2 days during shipping because it can happen. Our best preparation is to therefore avoid shipping after Wednesday, that way if one is delayed it does not sit over an extended weekend. Even if you're just a couple hours from our facility FedEx sends overnight to Memphis first. These shipments can, will, and have been delayed. To mitigate we avoid high traffic dates and weekends period. A good steward of pets and animals will never seek to risk a life simply because "I want it now". If you can't understand that shipping under certain circumstances jeopardizes both animal health and customer service, then we would rather avoid a bad deal. With 20 years experience we have seen people disappointed with other breeders and we strive to excel where others don't. We have an amazing reputation along with dozens of repeat commercial and private clients because we care. We care about our animals and you. Please strive to always be patient when purchasing a lifelong companion. One day can alter an outcome for a lifetime.
We have a limited number of well started Redfoot tortoises available now!
These guys are several months old and thriving. Send us a PM for more info on adding a tortoise to your home for the holidays ❤🐢🎄
Delivering this little guy today - aren't Redfoots just the cutest? 😍🐢
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: For my fellow tortoise peeps
Don't be scammed or fooled. White leopard tortoises do exist. They are often marketed as "high white" or even "snow" leopards. The problem is that tortoises change drastically, especially in the first 2 years. Early after hatching some may exhibit what seems to be unusual amounts of white shell growth. Some breeders will use this time to sell you a tortoise that most likely won't stay that way. You will pay too much and probably be disappointed. I've seen some remain mostly white but more often than not they end up pretty average looking. On the other hand I've seen almost all black babies turn out nearly solid white. Moral of the story is don't trust the yet to be determined. Tortoises are like Forest Gump's box of chocolates, you never Know what you gonna get.
And because we can never go to a show without bringing *something* home .... Here is the newest addition to our Kenyan sand boa project 😍! She's an absolutely stunning anery paint (thanks KcReptiles !). Can't wait to see what the future holds for this gorgeous girl 🐍
Thanks to everyone for coming out to the Show Me Reptiles & Exotics expo this weekend - it was great chatting about tortoises with you!
A couple of curious juvenile redfoots out enjoying the last few warm days of summer and the arrival of cooler weather 🍂
'Tis the season! Some adorable Leopard hatchlings are starting to pip 💚😍.
Leopard tortoises are native to Southern Africa and are the fourth largest species of tortoise in the world (adults can weigh anywhere from 15-30lbs when full grown!). Also - how sweet is that face?! 🐢 🐢 🐢
Lunch time with Arlo the Aldabra 🐢 🌵 💚
Just a couple of our pretty girls out enjoying the sunshine ☀️
We've been waiting and waiting - they're finally here! We now have a limited number of Sulcata hatchlings available. Message us for more information if you're interested in adding a tortoise to your family 🐢 🐢
Nothing to see here. Just one of our juvenile Leopard tortoises out for a sunny afternoon stroll through an endless buffet of Spring-fresh munchies.
Prepping dinner for some of the shelled friends. On the menu this evening : plantain and clover 🍀
