Thanks for all your responses, everyone! It's great to read all the different circumstances!
Haha, yes, I know this wait should be a good thing but I think I have reached the point where I'm ready, and would like to learn more with my tortoise by my side. I know my time will come soon enough, but sitting in the room with the tortoise table and imagining her arrival makes me impatient!
I can't imagine coping for three months, but maybe it would be easier...the reason I'm becoming impatient now is because things could be happening at any time - I think it would be easier to get on with things if I knew I had a three month wait!
I'm looking forward to sharing photos and thoughts with you guys when the time comes - for now, I'm just browsing the threads lots and staring at all your pictures.
Sky2Mina said:Cherylim, I can understand what you're going through. I hate waiting. I waited three months. But actually I think it's also a good thing... gives you time to do the research and prepare yourself, as well as testing if you really really want a tortoise or if it's only a fix idea.
Initially I wanted a Greek Tortoise. But I'm in Thailand, so there are no 'real' breeders here. There are some Sulcata Breeders and sometimes others manage to breed other species (but rarely that they're sold, imports are still the norm), but absolutely none for Greek or other Testudo Tortoises. I heard they come in Seasons (not sure from where) so I waited patiently for three months (I thought they'd be available in May-June) but until today, haven's seen any being sold at all.
