I am in the process of researching and getting everything I need so I can bring home my first tortoise. I was hoping to buy locally, but haven’t had any luck finding a breeder or rescue in Oregon. Are there any reputable sources online? Based on reviews, it looks like Backwater Reptiles is one to avoid.

If that doesn't work, check Craigslist... I've gotten three lovely RTs from people within a short drive who didn't want their torts anymore.

Thanks, I’ve been looking a few times a day for the past few weeks. Nothing as of yet, but I keep hoping.

My sweet 9 year old male Russian Tortoise Merlin is in need of a new loving home. We have to move to Maine and the climate will not be great for him. Please email me @[email protected]
