I am a little unsure about this certificate i have for Alfie. It's a yellow cites certificate saying that she is captive bred and does not exceed 100mm. The name in the top left of the certificate is the name of the shop i got her from...
So, in box 20 it says " This certificate is only valid for the holder in box 1. This certificate is valid untill the tortoise reches a plastoral length of 100mm, when the speciimen must be microchipped and a new certificate applied for".
So the questions; How do i go about this? Do i really need to get her micro chipped to keep with the licence? What happens if i just dont do it? Will it change the certificate to have my name on and not the pet shop? If some animal person comes to my house and my name isn't on the certificate will they take the tortoise away??
Sorry if this is such an obvious question, but i am just confused!
