Sazzy1987 · 16-09-2013, 09:47 AM

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I am a experienced keeper who has grown up with tortoise all my life. Tortoise are my life, I adore them.
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am looking for ideally two Egyptian tortoise. Young ones if possible. But i will consider any Egyptian tortoise.

If anyone could help id appropriate it forever.

Thanks a million.

Sarah

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:

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?

The tortoiseforsale website is a scam I know as my daughter bought a tortoise for my birthday from there last year. Money was taken from account and she never heard back from them never got the tortoise, Credit card company gave her money back and she was told it was a scam.
They do there buisness by email, the big give away is how cheap all the tortoises are.

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.

Thanks Emma ill try that. Can you tell me how to do that?

Andy OMG thats terrible. I had a look at the site and thought they were cheap. Didnt like the look of it. Thanks for telling me though.

Gordon ( Turnip ) might know someone.

I could ask him if you want.
