what do you recommend to do then?
Depending on what species you want. There are members here that can suggest the better breeders.
The problem with pet store bought torts is they generally are not kept properly.
You could buy one from a pet store and end up with a sick tort. Or if not raised correctly from the start. The tort could have damage internally that shows up later. Either way you might lose your tort and then deal with that heartache.
If you are someone who wants to rescue a tort from a pet store and willing to take a chance. You just might save a tort.
