Buying from a shop is always more risky than a breeder.
Shops want to sell you lots of things you dont actually need for tortoises.
They mix species, which can have drastic effects on tortoises.
Most give out incorrect husbandry.
And dont give after care info.
Most good breeders will always help with care after the tortoise leaves them.
