FWC-licensed gopher tortoise services across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, and Estero. Survey from $350. Relocation from $1,400.
Mr. Tortoise LLC is the FWC-authorized gopher tortoise survey and relocation company for Lee County, FL — serving Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Alva, and the surrounding area. Lee County is one of the highest-growth areas in Florida, and Lehigh Acres in particular is a hotspot for gopher tortoise surveys — tens of thousands of undeveloped lots with sandy, scrub-like habitat that tortoises favor.
Cape Coral, Alva, and rural eastern Lee County also see regular GT activity on undisturbed land. With so much vacant land changing hands and new construction accelerating across Lee County, GT compliance is a standard part of the build process.
Mr. Tortoise LLC schedules within 48 hours and delivers written reports next business day — fast enough to keep your project moving.
