Looking for impressed tortoise

kst Oct 03, 2006 10:58 PM

Do anyone know any breeder/importer of these rare unusual tortoises. I would love to get one. I heard M. impressa are very expensive too.

I don't know... Tortoises are usually so easygoing that it's pretty tough to impress them with anything.

impressa are among the most difficult tortoises to keep alive in captivity, if they are imports. Average survival in captivity is less than a year, often much less. Captive bred babies are just now beginning to come into the market, at > $1000 apiece but without the health problems of wild caught.
