I just realized, you are in Az too, where did you get that turtle? I thought they were illegal here except the aquatic kind...?
No, desert tortoise's are not illegal as long as they're registered with the AZ Game and Fish Dept. (which Helmet is). Also you're only allowed to own two at the same time. It is illegal to snatch them from their desert environment. We got Helmet from legitimate sources. If not, I sure wouldn't be plastering his picture all over!
Helmet was the size of a quarter when we first got him. And look at him now! We've had him about 4 years.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
