Thank You all. Have been to get their travelling box today. House is mostly packed up, just suitcases to pack. I have no cooker, no microwave and not much else left so we had a great salad tonight.... guess who got the leftovers!!! Will keep you all updated. H x x

YYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I have to print out my authorisation from DEFRA, write a letter saying they are in good health and get the vet here to countersign it and I have a reference number from Customs and Excise which is logged saying they have given me permission. I am crying as I type...

Thank you all, STILL no phone call.... I'm hoping this is because they are looking into it very closely and are double checking everything. I will call them tomorrow in the morning if I still havent heard - Shipping, including Cat (and hopefully torts) is Monday, We go the following Monday. x x

Havent taken Bella, Niles or little Squeak to the proposed new home that I found as yet, they are still with me, so it will be those 3 that I can take IF I can.... no phone call yet.

Thank You... it is nearly 1am here, and I am unable to sleep thinking and hoping......!

OK guys, fingers crossed for me... I have spent all day onto DEFRA, Greek CITES, UK CITES and Customs in the UK - here is the situation. Greek CITES wont issue me with a cert for my 3 Chels because I am NOT a breeder, these are domestic pets so they say CITES doesnt apply in this situation...

Very welcome! I have about 75 pictures but it just takes so long to put them up on here!! Everything from yearlings to the grand old lady of 75 in my first picture.. I loved the way the smaller ones flapped about, but once you tickled under their chins they calmed right down, it was the best...

Just been to see my hubby in the Caribbean and he took me to the Turtle farm on Grand Cayman. Simply amazing experience, swimming with the turtles, holding them, and watching them interact.. I have loads more pictures, if anyone wants to see them please PM me as it takes way too long to...

Ok - so I found a new home for Bella, Niles and Squeak, the new baby. This gentleman has kept torts all his life, brought his Hermanns over from the UK when he emigrated here, and is willing to take care of my last 3 babies. I will take them next week. His garden is beautiful, lots of fenced...

Great gift, and great people on this forum as always x x x

Hey all, Hi Lynn.... I will be moving over to Yorkshire, nearer to hubby's family and only an hour from mine... I dont think it is possible to get CITES papers for my torts, but I am looking into it.. I just cant let them go without trying something. :( Trip to the US was amazing, everything...

Hey Yvonne, Moving back to the UK actually doesnt bother me, it will be cheaper to live for a start! I am so upset about my animals though. Have been trying to come to terms with it but I am having difficulty even looking at them right now as it breaks my heart. Squeak, the new baby (bout an...

Evening peeps. Firstly apologies for my absence. Things have been a little stressful recently. I did go over to see Alan, and had a wonderful time, including a visit to the Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman - pics on my facebook if anyone wants to add me so they can see them let me know. Swimming...
