🎃🐢 Hi there, I’m Poppy! 🐢👻 I slinked into the shelter as a stray, and after no one came to claim me, I found my way to the rescue to start searching for my forever home. I did find one once, but my family had to move to Alaska ❄️—definitely not ideal for a warm, humid-loving turtle like me! So with a heavy heart, they returned me in June 2025, and now I’m back, ready to find a forever home that’s cozy, humid, and just my style. 🌿💛 I’m a little omnivore with a taste for adventure… and bugs 🐛! But I also enjoy leafy greens, crunchy veggies, and a touch of fruit — yum! 🍎🥬 I’m still on the smaller side and only halfway to my full adult size, but trust me, I have plenty of charm to share. Though it’s hard to tell my exact age, I’m considered an adult. With the right care, three-toed box turtles like me can live up to 70 years, which means adopting me is a lifelong, spooky-fun commitment! 🕸️🦴 🕷️ A few fang-tastic facts about me and my turtle kind: 🎃 We’re called three-toed box turtles because we have… yep, three toes on each back foot! 🦶 👻 We love warm, humid environments — think marshy, cozy habitats, not icy tundras! 🌿💧 🕸️ We’re omnivores, enjoying a mix of insects, veggies, and fruit for a healthy diet. 🐛🍓 💀 We need large enclosures with lots of hiding spots, safe basking areas, and high humidity for our shell and skin health. 🌙 With proper care, we can live up to 70 years, making us long-term companions for the right human. 💚 I’m looking for a home that’s safe, warm, and humid, with someone who’ll help me thrive and keep me cozy both indoors and outdoors on sunny days 🌞. Don’t worry — the rescue team will guide you through everything to make sure I settle in perfectly. 💛 If you’d like to make me part of your family, please click the Adoption Application button below — I can’t wait to meet you! 👻🎃 ✨ PLEASE NOTE: 1️⃣🎃 We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time. 2️⃣💀 We do not ship reptiles 🚫✈️ but may be willing to work with you if you’re able to travel 🚗. 3️⃣🕸️ #2 will depend on the animal you’re applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.
