I have 2 Egyptian Tortoises that I have had for 5 years. They were hatchlings when I got them and was hoping to have a male and female. But they are both males. Does anyone know where to find a female Egyptian?

I don't want to discourage you, but finding a female can be tuff. I would reccomend only buying a CB female so that your males will have a CB to breed with.Expect to pay over $500 for one. You just have to keep a eye on Kingsnake DAILY. Once you see an ad offering one, you have to be ready to put up the money immeditely or else someone else will buy it. I just sold some WC females a little while back and the people who drug their feet lost out. The people who were ready to buy were the ones who got em!
Hope that helps and good luck.
