Interest in Tortoises

[kenny55]

hello everyone,
I am Kenny and I am recently interested in tortoises through my Italian friend Daaavide. I have 2 dogs and soon will be going with davide to get a couple of water tortoises, from the countryside , of the little town of lacchiarella which is near Milan. Will keep you posted on future developments-

Hello and Welcome it's better to leave the wild in the wild and purchase your new turtles. Wild caught do not do as well in captivity as those born in captivity

Hello! I noticed you used the term "water tortoises." Bear in mind, although Australians refer to their native side-necked turtles as "tortoises," in the rest of the English-speaking world, the word "tortoise" refers to the most terrestrial, herbivorous turtles on Earth. You must mean that you are thinking of getting pond turtles, correct?
