The internet has become a very crowded place. When we started TurtleTails.com we worked very hard to be found and to rank high in search results. We no longer worry about where we rank because we get plenty of traffic and email. We are always willing to help. Many people ask us where they can get turtles.     We like to be different, we like to experiment, and we like to share what we learn with you. Our adoptions pages started as an experiment to be a different kind of adoptions listing. We have adopted some turtles ourselves and have adopted out many turtles. We have also met many nice people and turtles along the way.      So we are going to try something new and different again. We are creating this list of people looking to acquire pet turtles and tortoises. This is so people in your area with turtles or tortoises they wish to adopt out can contact you directly.       We will list people located anywhere in the world and leave your name on the list until you tell us to remove it. It is not uncommon for people to have pet turtles a long time and have no idea what kind of turtle they have so anyone placing their name on this list can expect offers of turtles they are not looking for. We ask you to be open minded. We hope you will also help turtles in need even when you do not intend to keep them as pets. You can always have them listed by us as available for adoption. We also expect you to refuse turtles you do not want or have room for.      If you represent a rescue or rehab organization, we will be happy to list your organization provided you do not require a donation. If you are an individual only interested in rescuing turtles and tortoises in need, we invite you to be listed too but we will not use the term rescue or rehab in your listing.      Privacy and security are concerns of many people so we will only list first names and contact information. We will need your country, state, city, zip code, first name, email address or phone number, and the turtles you are interested in acquiring.      We are sure kids will find this opportunity very inviting. I had turtles when I was a boy and I have given turtles to many kids who were accompanied by adults when they picked up the turtles. I suggest that anyone giving away a turtle to a child only do so if there is an adult present to approve the adoption. If someone deals with a child with not adult to approve the adoption, let us know so we can remove the listing.      If you attempt to contact someone and get no response or the contact information does not work, please let us know. Many people will put their names on lists and then never check their email or remember to update their info when their email address changes.  With your help we can minimize dead links.       As always this is a free service for people seeking to acquire pet turtles. If you sell turtles, we do not want you to have your name placed on our list. We do not criticize you for selling turtles but this is a free service for free turtles.      As always, your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
