I am sure you would have been told it was a non-refundable deposit, you just have to complain to the authorities that you have paid for the tortoise so it is your property and they should give it back.

If you google some of the uk exotic pet websites and online forums you will see that nz animals appear from time to time! This guy http://www.martingoss.co.uk/index.html has tree wetas , tunnelweb spiders, peripatus , nz mantis every now and again. So i guess some one is smuggling them out. Also this one http://www.bugnation.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=13489 shows that they are being sold over seas.
