Please beware most pet shops, tortoise centres and tortoise shops invariably offer poor, but profitable, advice. Owning a tortoise should be a lifetime commitment, and a lot of thought should be given to both the tortoise's immediate and long-term needs. Please always contact a Genuine UK Verified Breeder if you are looking to purchase a Tortoise for good advice and healthy tortoises. We have compiled a list of genuine UK Breeders from Kent to Dorset to Scotland.
