Hatching Russian tortoise

[stinax182]

I really want to raise a tortoise from a baby. All the torts i have or have had have been rescues. I've had Russians before and honestly, they are my favorite. I'd really like a Sulcata hatchling but i can't be sure when I'll have space for one once it's large and I'd rather rescue a giant one at that time. I can't find many baby Russians online and i feel 200$ is a high price. I'm just wondering if there are any breeders on this forum. I'm not ready to purchase yet.

You can also look at Tortoise Supply, in Vegas. Tyler is a great breeder and member of this forum.

Carol S recently did a post on a bunch of her russian babies. I have six of hers from last year and they are excellent in every way. Try to message her?

Thanks for the replies guys! I really want to find one at a reptile show but i don't know how often they sell baby Russians at shows.
