The thing is if we all worried about 'what if's' very few of these lovely animals would ever have a home however long or short, but the same applies to big dogs, horses even parrots etc. So if you can offer one a home then do so, by not buying rehoming etc you'll not stop the breeding/selling and the tort will have a nice home even if the worst happens and its not for life, no one can guaranty that.

That is very true - and if you were to re-home one then that is a tortoise that needs a home regardless

Ha ha, these Tortoises certainly make you withdraw money from the Cashpoint; Much goes on repair costs and facilities. Mine, has even mastered the Direct debit too. I'm sure, they evolved to fund the shareholders of Electricity supply companies.
Like my Grand daughter, if they spoke, their first words would have to be "Pin number"
