Leopards
I currenty have one Leopard and one Horsfield tortoise (kept in seperate enclosures) I would like another Leopard tortoise to eventually live with Squirt, not to breed just as company although i know this is not essential. I know pet shops are a no no (which was where Squirt was from) and alot of tortoise keepers are against breeding Leopards so i was just wondering where i could get another Leopard tortoise from apart from re-homing which i'm currently on the list for.

there are still plenty of leopards being bred in the uk, lookout on slowcoach for a breeder, try and see if you can rehome some of the leopards seized at customs, unfortunately hundreds are being imported and when sum1 is caught, these torts need a home.

Thanks Carl, do you know who you have to get in touch with to re home the ones that are seized at customs?

sorry i dont, but i think sue wizzasmum may know or lisa or sandy, but with these torts quarantine is vital for at least 6 months.

If you are a memeber of the BCG they also have a rehomeing section worth a try .

Try www.reptilekeeper.co.uk
and possibly www.pets-classifieds.co.uk They don't come up too often but it's worth a look once a day or something. Jess |
