 | Animal ID: 15-01-07-00102Yellowfoot Tortoise (female) (PENDING ADOPTION) Squirtbutt (her name was Squirtle because we were told she was a he by the previous owner... we call her Squirtbutt affectionately... she does not have 'the squirts'!) is approximately 10 years old, according to our vet. She is currently 7-8 inches long and has grown about 4 inches in the past year due to a proper diet and housing. We are unable to keep her because we have to reluctantly move into a much smaller home. She is shy, but does respond to whomever she likes (she will come out of her hiding spot or calm down during bathtime when spoken to with a soft voice). She is fed Mazuri tortoise diet with collard greens and ... (Read More)another green depending on what we have bought that week (she likes arugula, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and so on). She gets fruit on occasion and is picky about it. One time she will eat strawberries, then ignore them the next five times. She does this with almost all fruit. She will come with her two connected Zoomed Tortoise Houses, sphagnum peat moss (whatever is left in the 40-50 lb bag we buy as this is her bottom substrate), timothy hay (light cover over the peat moss so she does not drag the soil into her food), play sand (for under and around her shallow water dish because it prevents mold on the hay from spills... when her water dish is out, she always walks through the sand), her shallow water dish (must be changed every day), her Mazuri food (whatever is here... soak about 4-5 nuggets in warm water and mix with greens), and her heat light and nightime heat light. I cannot provide her UV light fixture as this is on loan to me and I have to return it. The $50 charge is to ensure sincerity of providing a good home. We took her in because she needed a home. She was housed in a small glass tank and fed only bagged spring mix. If you adopt her, please realize she must have a uv light, must be bathed at least twice a week (she usually defecates during her soak), must be fed FRESH greens, not bagged salad, and must be fed Mazuri (she has had amazing changes since beginning the Mazuri diet. She should also always have a cuttlebone in her enclosure for calcium. She should not be picked up by children and NEVER turned onto her back. (Less) Gloucester County sewell, NJ MAP IT!

Reptiles & More can make good pets in New Jersey if they match your IifestyIe. Reptiles are interesting animals. Many types of reptiles and amphibians are kept as exotic pets. Snakes, turtles, iguanas, and frogs are popular examples. Keeping a reptile as a pet is a tremendous responsibility. Many reptile owners discover that owning a reptile is not as rewarding as they had hoped. Reptiles do not bond with people the way mammals can, and are sometimes neglected for that reason. Also, many people purchase young, small reptiles without being aware of or prepared for their eventual adult size. For example, Burmese Pythons are often bought as pets when they are about two feet long. However, many do not realize that Burmese Pythons are among the largest snakes in the world, with adults averaging 23 feet in length and weighing hundreds of pounds! There is now an established invasive population of Burmese Pythons in Florida due to pet owners releasing the snakes into the wild. Scientists believe these huge snakes will keep spreading out and will one day inhabit one third of the United States! Some owners are not prepared for the long lifespan of a pet reptile. Some species of turtles are known for their extreme longevity. Iguanas can grow to be six feet long and then live for 20 years. Sadly, many captive reptiles suffer from dehydration and kidney problems, poor nutrition, and all other manner of neglect. A person who is truly ready to commit to a reptile pet can alleviate some suffering by adopting an animal rather than purchasing new.
