Hey guys. So I'm just wondering about tortoise pricing. Mainly in Canada but I'm sure most of you can give me some advice.
I'm looking to get a hermann tortoise here in Canada and from where I have been looking they are ranging from 500-800 (mostly red foots are in the 800 range) and after buying an extremely sick red foot for 425.00 from a local '' breeder'' only to have the tort pass away a few days later =(
After that I began looking around for reputable breeders. So I found a guy across Canada that is a breeder of tortoises that has a good reputation and I can get a 4 month old hermann shipped to my door for 683.00 with a health guarantee. If the tort will not eat or seems sick with the first 7 days of arrival he will replace the tort at his cost.
Im just wondering if you guys would consider that absolutely outrageous or reasonable since I have seen them a lot cheaper in the states but unfortunately I cannot order from the states because they cannot go through customs.
Or if anybody knows any breeders in Canada or anything that would be great also and I thank you in advance for any advice.
Thanks!!
