Hi! My name is Tangerine!
I was rescued from a hoarding situation with several other animals. When I came into care I was literally skin and bones but today I'm happy, healthy, and growing! I’m feisty, carefree, engaging, adaptive, and cheerful with lots of energy!
Fun fact about me! I am a leatherback which means I am smooth to the touch! I am considered a juvenile so I am still learning to be handled and to be with my people. Though for my age I am doing fantastic in terms of being social! It means I get to see and explore new things and that makes me happy!
One thing you can count on though is I'm a great eater! Right now I still eat 80% protein and 15% veggies and 5% fruit. An experienced person will know when that will start to change.
As a beardie, I require my own habitat as we do best housed individually from my age forward. With the right diet, habitat, substrate, temperature, and humidity I can live a long and healthy life of up to 12 to 14 years!
If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below and you will be contacted to set up a date!
