*URGENT*
$800 OUT OF $2000 GOAL HAS BEEN DONATED SO FAR! We can build one sulcata enclosure. We are a 1/4 of the way to our goal! Thank you all so much.

We have had a LARGE number of people contacting us needing to place sulcatas and redfoots and unfortunately we are completely full on these species at our current location.
We have the ability to build enclosures and maintain tortoises on our new property but unfortunately do not have the funding to build the enclosures as all our money is currently going towards developing the property.
We would like to offer a solution. If anyone is interested in donating specifically towards the building of enclosures so that we can continue to take in sulcatas and redfoots we will happily donate the time to building them.
If you'd like to donate we have all the links posted at the top of our page.

To build a single sulcata enclosure costs about $500
To build holding enclosures plus a group area for redfoots costs between $500 and 1500$ depending on size and number of quarantine areas.

Here is the link to the post with donation options:

Thank you all for your continued support!!
