Was wondering, why doesn't anyone breed gopher tortoises? I saw a picture of one and their faces are just too adorable
jrcrist4 said:The gopher tortoise is an endangered species and is protected by law. Taking one from the wild is illegal here in florida and I am sure it is illegal in others southern states where gophers are found naturally. There are programs working on preserving this species through breeding but the hatchlings produced are not put up for sale.
