9/8/25 -- Adoptions for Land Turtles and Tortoises are closed for the 2025 season. Why? With shortening days and cooling temperatures, the window to successfully build an outdoor habitat and move a chelonian into a new home has passed. Land Turtles and Tortoises are readying themselves for hibernation/brumation.
Land Turtles and Tortoises will be available for adoption in Spring 2026 -- now is the time to plan and build your outdoor habitat for next year. Please visit our minimum habitat requirements here, https://www.corhs.org/index.php?get=content&pageid=64
