I understand what you mean clive, on a breeding loan it's not long term so you've gotta intro..do the deed etc.wheras if you purchase it you can do the 6 months quarantine before hand to make sure neither animal is ill...well i think i've understood right???

Bev just a suggestion hun but have you tried www.shelledwarriors.co.uk ? Dedicated tortoise site and forum, thats probably your best bet to find fellow egyptian keepers.

As I said to another member I don't want to do anything I will regret, I once turned down a pair of spider torts and have regretted it ever since, don't want to rehome her and regret it later.

Did you get yours from the same breeder down south, or through a dealer in Canterbury by any chance.

I think there are spiders on the market at the moment. I don't want to pressure you to sell but I would be interested if you want to sell.
