Just curious guys, I havent really read or followed the Hamm road trip that is coming up, but....................................
Is anyone planning on getting a tort from there?...If you do, could you answer a couple of questions for me please- What Sub-species?...Size?...Weight? How much you have paid? Country of Origin? What type of enclosure will you be using? What diet/food you plan to offer your tort? This is a serious thread, I am just trying to gather tort data...thanks in advance. If you would rather pm the details, not a problem there, cheers ...T.T.

T.T. You have hermans and horsefields over there which are the main ones they sell ranging from €40 upwards. I didn't pay much attention to any of the others though but I didn't see a tort over €180 the only problem is the CITES paperwork if they don't have it you will find they are the cheaper end but some are selling cheap with CITES.

Any tortoise listed under cites needs to have paperwork, wherever you buy it - if you buy it in the UK it needs the exact same paperwork called "Article 10", this states the sellers name and address, the country of origin, confirms that the species is Captive Bred, and states what you can do with it. It's just a piece of paper you get with the tortoise (or some species of snakes / lizards that are also listed), and is not specific to buying at Hamm or anything.
Don't think I can help with the original question, although going to Hamm, it's not by coach, and I won't be buying any tortoises there. I have seen almost no tortoises advertised in advance, so I doubt anyone has actually prebooked and paid in advance, or would know the size/weight.. most people just go along on the day and see what's available.

I meant, when you return with your tort/torts.,regarding the questions I asked, I did not mean any pre-arrangement... PS. Athravan, if you have any left over pennies and your driving through Kent, give me a shout ...T.T.

not wanting to sound funny but when i asked about what torts were available at Hamm i got slated by some members on here for not buying from the UK breeders.
it got that bad i ended up askin a mod to lock the thread. so all i'm going to say is if i do decide to get a tort from Hamm i aint tellin no-one on ere cos it just gets nasty.

I'm curious why You've made this thread TT.
But i'll be honest. Before i got my horsfield i did do research on a number of different tortoises such as horsfields, hermans, and red foots. Now i am going to hamm. Not with the intention of buying a tortoise. But they are such eye catching creatures that i wont dismiss the possibility that i MAY end up coming home with one. I'd be keeping it in a tortoise table, possibly buying a temporary one from you, or building one. I havent decided yet. But if i did get one it'd be one of the three i named above as i know about their housing and feeding habits where as i dont about the others.

Because of your request on my enclosures, I had a feeling you would be bringing back a tort, that is none of my business, I may not agree with imports, but I cannot control other peoples wants... I would just like to gather info. nothing more...T.T.
