Default Tortoise Website

Hello
A few years ago I had a large Sulcata tortoise and unfortunatly he was attacked in the garden and though his injures he died.
I am now ready to look after another tortoise and have started looking on websites for one.
The reason im writing this to you, is ive come across someone selling tortoises and was wondering if anyone has had any exprience with them, here is a link to their advert
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Im sorry if I have placed this post in the wrong section

Looks a little dodgy to me.. they do not allow you to collect the tortoises and there prices seem rather low.

What species are you looking for?

it is worth paying a breeder £100+ for a young tortoise, if you want a youngen, after all the tortoise will last you a very long time and may outlive you lol x
