Hello I am fully blind and had recently purchased mail Russian tortoise, unfortunately he was from Petsmart and was unhealthy so my veterinarian recommended to take him back for proper care. Anyways I'm looking into purchasing a Nother Russian or Greek tortoise but do not want to make the same mistake are there any websites that you would recommend or any big differences between Russians and Greeks because I would like to purchase from somewhere that has healthy tortoises. I would personally prefer any websites that might have captive bred juveniles or young adults any advice would be greatly appreciated

We have several good breeders right here on this forum that have well started, healthy, captive bred babies out of healthy adults. I have personal experience with @Carol S and @kanalomele and highly recommend both of them, but there are lots of breeders here that I wouldn't hesitate to buy from.

Did you get the care sheets already?
