Reptiles rarely get rehomed because of anything the animal did — far more often, the owner realizes too late that a proper setup takes more effort than expected: heat gradients, UVB lighting, and humidity control that a regular room simply can't provide on its own.
A tortoise in particular can live several decades, so bringing one into your household is a long-term commitment worth thinking through seriously, especially if children are the ones asking for it.
The tank and heating equipment usually cost more than the reptile itself, so ask the current owner whether any of it is included before you agree to take the animal.
Diet varies a lot by species — some reptiles need live insects, others need specific leafy greens — so ask exactly what the animal has been eating before switching anything.
