After years of searching I finally was able to get an adult male red foot he was a little expensive (1000$) told you Canada had crazy tortoise prices but hopefully he can breed soon so I can have some more little guys.... Great to be back!

Man i would have just drove across the border and bought one for a more reasonable price. I drove through and even declared my hunting rifles and they didnt even look inside my car. but you never know they dont F-around at the border ive had to deal w/ them on both ends Ak-BC-Washington-maine-new brunswick and all the way out to the "Rock" New Foundland.
Congrats mate, They are few and far between for sure
Yes 1000$ is steep but ask hustler he told me he turned down 1500$ a MALE red foot is rare to come by in canada
Good for you!! We need more tort breeders in Canada.
Even baby RF are around 250$ all the way to 500$!!
Akronic, unfortunately it is illegal to import any species of turtle/tortoise without the proper paperwork that is almost impossible to obtain!! One guy was caught at the border here in Quebec a couple months ago for trying to smuggle a dozen baby sulcata. He was fined 4000$ and will probably have trouble crossing the border for the next couple of years.

You said it! A grand is how much I paid for a small breeding group of RFs. MAN thats expensive, I can only imagine how much a female would cost. But atleast you got your male and good luck to you and your breeding project.
$1000!?!?! Holy moly. I can find and buy them all day long for under 200
