You mean crazy people who drive hundreds of miles in a day, to ensure some turtles get good homes?
Now who would be mad enough to do a thing like that?

Is there a big price difference? How much would you typically pay for each one?
Some of the rarer species cost hundreds, but even amonst the more common ones there's quite a difference, and a £10 Slider is likely to be more of an impulse buy than a £30 Musk.

All of my turts have cost me less than £20 each, some were free, although one of them did cost me a £40 Reptile Taxi bill!

What you said just reminded me of something Graham said whilst we were driving back from Nottingham via Staffordshire with several turtles in his boot.

He's talking about us, James and I drove about 300 miles on Saturday to shuttle various turts around the country, well worth it though as I got 3 new Southern Painteds out of it.

She has a great home, she may be just a common Red Belly but she's one of my favourites, a really good natured turt.

I take it that you are the same James as the mod on Terrapin Tank?

Yes James is a TT mod too.

We spent nearly 12 hours on Saturday delivering them all, about 6 hours of that on the road. I suppose my 3 new turts cost me about £10 worth of diesel each!
