Hi new member here seeking clarity re CITES A10.
I am interested in buying a Hermnann's tortoise which is listed as A II.
The seller is a private captive breeder but apparently has no CITES paperwork?

Do I only require A10 for future actions ie commercial breeding or export? Or shall I avoid this person at all costs?

FYI I am a UK expat living in Switzerland and finding it extremely difficult to find a breeder.

Thanks!
