You're not doing yourself a favor by omitting tortoises from outside of the UK. If you are careful and acclimate the animal you should not have a problem with an animal not bred in the UK. In fact... most of the tortoises that come from farms are usually very well started and already have some good development.

I have gotten many tortoises from farms without a problem and I know many others who have done the same.

Keep in mind that you are going to find a variance of opinion on most topics of keeping chelonians.

I'd suggest reading up more on these farms. There are some good threads on this forum on the topic. I think I've even posted some photos of one such farm.

If it was me I would wait untill July and buy Chris's Hermanns. Thats just my opinion and what I personnaly would do

I'd wait too as I also had a hissy scared import with RNS! I say had because the tortoise is tame and healthy now! All my UKCB have been tame and handleable from the start!

I'm happy to wait, but thank you to everyone for your opinions
