advice-new purchase
Hello
I just wanted some advice from you lovely knowledgable people.... I have been let down 4 times in my search for horsefield tortoises. Now I have found a site called Reptilarium, and wondered if anyone has bought from these before? Or knows anything about them? I just want someone reliable who isn't looking to make a quick buck at the risk of the tortoises'. Any advice??? Anyone?? Thanks for reading |

Hi,
Have you tried preloved at all? Some breeders advertise on there, I came across a shop advertising CB tortoises on there as well. Seems to me that Hermanns are more commonly available than Horsefields at the moment.
