ok I have called everyone and thier brother to find a tort no one has them or is asking even more than the $250!!! I did decide to go with a russian ...I have not seen the tort yet the lady is going through her supplier who is supposed to be emailing me pictures w in a day or two the dealer says they are this years hatchlings from her own stock which were also captive born russians I will put a deposit on the tort when I see it is in good cond and then the lady I am going thru will hold the tort for 5 days to make sure it is healthy before she lets it come home .does this sound normal? when i got my sulcata it was a gift from my husband he got it because it was cute :0) but knew nothing about how big it would get etc or even how to tell if it was sick etc luckily it was a healthy one ..we learned as we went with tink and she was a wonderful tort I miss her soo much!
