Good luck with finding one, I'd love one too but that will have to be a few years, there are a few members on here that do keep them in the uk x

Don't know if this is any help but these seem to have them but I don't know the company so can NOT vouch for them:
http://www.tortoisecentre.co.uk/More...-Tortoise.aspx and these: http://www.tortoiseforsale.org/tortoise-for-sale/ Last edited by Thelly; 16-09-2013 at 07:30 PM. |

Thank you. I have contacted the tortoise center but they only sell Males and they are aged about 9. If i cant get anything younger then i will consider this one seriously.
Surely there has to be someone who breeds them in the UK that has some hatchlings for sale? |

It's always best to get a tortoise from a breeder if possible. Hope you find one.

Actually, thinking about it, Jeff on the forum used to breed them. Worth sending him a pm to see if he still does. You need to make five posts before sending private messages though Sarah.
