Relocate 4 turtles in Florida

[Mike Paul]

attached) and located 4 active and 2 abandoned gopher tortoise burrows. The abandoned burrows identified do not receive any protection and are a non issue, however all 4 of the active burrows appeared to be occupied. Any of these burrows that are located within 25' of the proposed limits of clearing would require relocation. Onsite relocation does not appear to be an option due to the size of the lot and the wooded (non habitat) area on the north of the parcel. The cost for the survey, permitting, and relocation will run $2,500 plus a recipient site fee of $5,000 per tortoise captured and relocated to the recipient site. Assuming the capture of 4 adult tortoises, we are likely looking at a total of $22,500 to complete the job.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like for us to proceed with permitting.

The real question is do they have a rat named Master Splinter directing them.

 

[Boudica]

Notarealsignguy will take them... Do they get along with roosters?

 

[GAC05]

Maybe you could get them to leave on their own. Lay down a trail of apples leading off the property. Once they clear the line put up some miniature tank traps to keep them from coming back.

So are you asking for someone to take the turtles, and pay $22,500?
Doesn't FL have a zoo that would take them?

Maybe, are you? You're posts are broken and don't make a lot of sense.... OP began with "attachment)" no attachment, but some rambling that made no sense. Then you posted two more short things, like you're answering questions not asked... I didn't see them.

That's insane. Sorry... For your family members predicament. There's gotta be a better less expensive solution.
Then again... New developments .. The animals were there first.

I think it’s great they have protection for the turtles. They use to be all up and down the east coast but have almost been wiped out. Flagler Beach is a nice area.
