Welcome to the site, good to see your doing your research before you make your final decision on which tortoise is best for you. Its a good idea to read some of the past threads on care, feeding and housing. You'll also see that its a bad idea to buy from a pet shop or dealer eg online, but to buy one from a reputable breeder, there are several listed in the breeders section on the home page, or place/answer an ad in the 'for sale/wanted section'.

Carry on asking lots of questions, good luck

hi joe

a big warm welcome


please do not be tempted to buy from a pet shop or online

read through the threads and you will soon see why

many of us have nearly fell into this trap


and those who have , have regrets
