Russian tortoises wanted

[AmigoTheTortoise]

I've wanted to have a tortoise/turtle since I was 9 and finally have decided I am responsible enough, I've done my research and have decided that the perfect tortoise breed for me is a Russian tortoise! I've seen pics and have fell in love. The only problem is I live in Australia and can't seem to find any Russians for sale anywhere, if anyone is a breeder or knows of anyone that doesn't want there Russians anymore please contact me. I would love to grow old with the tortoise so hatchlings- 6months is preferred.
Thanks so much

Hello and welcome to TFO. We don't have many active Australians on the forum, possibly because non native species are in such short supply over there.

I wish you luck with your search.

While you're hunting, have you read the most up to date care information for this species?

Check the adoption section. I saw two hatchlings in that section. You just have to check if the seller is willing to ship.

But they're not in Australia

I just posted ours for adoption as well. Not a hatchling however well mannered and active I guess for a Tortoise lol. Anyways looking for a good home as our daughter is not responsible enough to care for a pet. Happy to ship at your expense.
