I didn't think they'd show in rescues. I just don't like using the term "buying" when it comes to animals. I don't like thinking of them as my property. I think of it more as an animal I just happen to be taking care of.
I'm not even sure where to look for breeders. :(
I have been doing a lot of research as to what type of tortoise I'd like to adopt. For the most part, I was interested in adopting a Hermann or a Russian Tortoise, but Pancake tortoises have always been my absolute favorite. I read an article a way back saying it was illegal to own a Pancake...
Is it safe to take them outside to explore the grass at all? I don't have a tortoise at the moment but I plan to eventually and would just like to know ahead of time. :)
