Hi again,


When buying a tort one of the most impotant questions you should ask is , what is place of origin on the cert, as this has to by law list where the tort has come from, all certs are uk but that does not mean the torts is, place of origin is the key to find out where from!

If they are not UK Captive bred i wouldn't buy it!!

And if you come across any where place of origin is Slavenian then don't go near as many carry the Herpes Virus and most are more often than not
wild caught!!


Here are a couple of articles on Herpes Virus and imports;

Tortoise Trust Web - Herpes Virus Infection Associated with Lymphoma in Testudo hermanni .

Tortoise Trust Web - Illegal Imports

Hope that helps you!!
