Hi everyohe. I used to find tortoises on the roads when i was a kid in South Africa. Live in kent, in England now, and wondered if there are any tortoises native to England or any part of Europe? If so, I am thinking I might like to get involved in a breeding programme. Any ideas?

Hi Kyamanzi:
to the forum!!
There are no tortoises native to England, however England has a thriving tortoise-keeping population. We have several U.K. folks here on the forum and I'm sure on of them will clue you in!

Welcome to the forum 
Like Yvonne said there are no tortoises native to the UK. There are though a few native to Europe, Hermanns..Testudo hermanni, Spur-thighed...Testudo graeca and Marginated...Testudo marginata. There are though others that are being bred in the UK also.
