Without getting on tortoise forum you may find out about the paperwork only in a few years time and then you may think that you mislaid it.
ETA: just sent this as you wrote the previous response!

I totally agree and im actually feeling extremely annoyed about it
I feel like i was realy conned . the people in the shop were realy very nice and very helpful but even so i did actually have a bit of a bad feeling when they were so vague about things . they tried soooo hard to sell me a vivarium too
which i got a bit cross about and i was a bit abrupt in the end.
There is no way i would take willow back but if she had not been an animal i
most certainly would
I wasnt too sure who to contact but mary has said Defra ,so i shall be
contacting them .
realy appreciate all the help Thankyou
