Hiya, i just thought that i would post this and maybe help people looking into getting torts..

What torts need certs?

Like, Hermanns do, But horsefields dont.

Also, what do you do if you buy a tort without a certificate that needs one?

Thanks, Tom.

HI,

Here is a link for anyone wants to know what tort needs a cert;
Tortoises listed on Annex A.rtf


And this link will help anyone who wants to get a cert for their tort;

CITES - Convention International Trade in Endangered Species* - Home Page

Hope that helps

I see you have already been given relevant links but as for the question of buying a tortoise without a cert that needs one - DON'T, it is illegal to sell tortoises listed under Annexe A without a cert. Therefore, by purchasing the tortoise you are party to an illegal activity and can get into trouble. DEFRA do not take kindly to this.

So basically you never purchase a tortoise without the relevant certificate.
