Hello,
First time posting here so hopefully I'm in the correct thread group.
I'm looking to get a tortoise in the next 6 months or so and the western hermann's caught my eye. One thing I noticed is that they seem harder to come by than some of the other Mediterranean tortoises. I've got a reptile expo coming to town in July. But I'm not sure what to expect for availability. I see some websites sell them but I'm nervous shelling out the money they're asking just to have an eastern show up at my door.
So I guess the question is where do people usually get a western from? Are there breeders here which are recommended? Are they more common in the spring time?
