Anyone who is in doubt as to whether they have the correct certificate to sell on their tortoise(s) should contact DEFRA whose contact details can be found on the above link. Please do this before you place your classified ad.

Thank you.

i have recently purchased a tortoise and phone DEFRA today about sending off the article 10 to have it put in my name, to be told I only need to send the paperwork off unless i want to sell him on or breed from him.

Nope they are rare but never extincted, it's just the subspecies pinta island galapagos (saddleback) that there is one left, hopefully they will take a chance to save his subspecies as he is around 80-90 and that is not too old for a galapagos tortoise.
