Tyler Stewart from Bluebeast Reptile is one of the most polite and caring people that I have ever met. I have purchased many Tortoises from Tyler, sight unseen.

I am in Iowa USA and packaged soil of all varieties, common for Tortoise care is readily available.

Hi Nay
Andre and another big boy just came in last week. I am not sure on their history or their ages, but they were very well cared for by the previous owner. They just ended up getting too big, so they came here to live:)

I wont be needing anymore, but if anyone wants to donate I would be happy to accept them.
Thanks everybody!

Hi Scott
