New Canadian Interested in Tortoises

[crutledge01]

Well, the title says it all. I'm super interested in tortoises of all species. I want to adopt/buy one as soon as I possibly can (pm if you have advice?) and I'm building my own enclosure for it.

the guy i buy most of my snakes from has a few sulcatas, hes had them for around 28 years or so he said, he was saying they dont do well in doors, his stay outside in a barn with a few big heatlight as much as he possibly can keep them outdoor, just a tip GL. i would like to get a redfoot tort, they dont live so long you need to give them to your kids and then have them give it to theirs..... and they are a nice size and very nice looking.

Ahh, yes, Sulcata tortoises are very cute! I would prefer one of the smaller ones, because they can be housed indoors. I have a large basement available that I can build an enclosure in, which I plan to do as soon as I find out a good, reliable place that takes good care of their tortoises.

Regretably, I'm finding it nearly impossible to find a good place that ships to Canada.

My favourite tortoises are Redfoot, Egyptian, Greek and Russian tortoises.

Welcome!! The only turtles I've seen up close are snappers and I've seen them in the wild in Ontario. Tortoises are much more adorable so I look forward to seeing pics as soon as you've adopted one! Please keep us posted!
