John C Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Used to keep tortoise in UK - had to leave him behind. Would now like to be on a waiting list to buy one in NZ (yes- I'm aware the wait may be years). If you can help, please post a reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Welcome to the forum John and good luck with getting a tortoise. What type did you have in the UK? Are they still readily available there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Donna, Testudo graeca Ibera (Turkish or Greek Spur-thighed Tortoise) - 42 year old male ("George"), was gifted him from elderly friend some years ago. Yes -far more available in UK than in NZ (which seems to have a limited gene pool) - For 'Tortoises for sale in UK' see : http://www.pettortoise.co.uk/tortoises_for_sale.php For good chelonia information see: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 We owned 2 spur thighs in England, make great pets :bounce: Good luck with your search, they are here, but a lot of $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
