Hi - been reading your post.... i hope you don't mind me sending you a private message. There are lots of breeders around Portsmouth - me included.... however, have you ever thought of rehoming a tort??? I belong to Hampshire Tortoise Society [HTS] - we have severa tortoises looking for good responsible homes right now...
If you are interested email me
