My name is Austin, i'm 21 years and animals have been my life since i was born. I have over ten years of breeding experience with ornate box turtles at one point i had over 50 in our backyard from ages 1yr-60yrs. After moving to San Angelo the person who bought our old house took over breeding the ornates, as the new house did not have facilities to house all of the ornates. Though living in San Angelo, i have raised and given away baby alligator turtles and what nots. I used to work at Petco, i figured i could make a difference there, and well I did. Tortoises I sold all got the proper diet....even if it meant me going out and buying the products out of pocket. Most importantly selling the tortoise to responsible buyers was my most important goal, i'd deny 20 people just so that i knew the buyer really was dedicated to a life long commitment instead of viewing the tortoise first as a pet (and at least had an outdoor inclosure for them). Now I'm just enjoying my summer off from college, (applied physics major), i'm hoping here soon to get several tortoises sulcuta, leopard, radiated, .....pretty excited as I have tons of room for them to roam, grass, sun....sun...and more sun. As well as a winterized aquaponics greenhouse for them. More than anything though i have a great lady to support me and enjoys tortoises and animals as much as i do. So now the waiting game begins, and the right opportunity and price for tortoises to come my way. More than anything though i want to eventually have a breeding pair of radiates, breaks my heart to think that in less than 5 yrs they will be extinct in their natural habitat....so furthering their legacy in captivity would be amazing ....possibly even reintroduction to their homeland would be an ultimate goal me and my lady have.
Anywho if anyone ever needs help with ornates, or simply needing a much needed home for a tortoise....i'm the guy your looking for.
