Hello, needing so input please. I have been planning/thinking/researching about bringing a tortoise into my home and after 8+ months I think I'm ready however, the breeds I am open to is Mediterranean torts, Hermanns, Russians etc. Naturally over this time I started looking into where I would get my tortoise from and being as I rescue animals that's what I would want. To adopt and rescue one. But I'm having a really hard time, I have searched every state within 100 miles of my state and I found 1 only 1 Russian about 6 hours away(which I can't do) and the post online said it was less than a year old but this tort looked around 3-5 he was large and very aged looking so I def don't know why she's lying but that's a red flag. I don't care how old the tort is I get!!!! Older the better really haha but she's sketchy Anyway......I've been in contact with a family owned pet shop and they have of course babies for sale at a decent price but I hate to do it, but I also have waited so long and truly want a tortoise, and I've wanted one for yearsssss but it was never right time until this year. I found about 100 sliders that need homes which is awful! But I don't want turtles. It really seems that Russians and Hermanns are not given up often or something at least not near me. What should I do? What would you do?
Thanks
