: : I know the largest tortoise in the world is the Galapagos. I know Sulcata's are large, but can someone tell me like the top 5 largest tortoises in order?

: : Are they available for sale? in California?

: Galapagos
: Aldabra
: Sulcata
: Leopard
: Yellowfoot

: Acording to some leopard is the fourth largest, acording to others it's the Yellow Foot.

: I expect they're all availabl;e in CA, however you'll need a permit for the Galapagos, and at least a quater of an acre for one pair of Galapagos Torts.
: Do your research before commiting to one or more of these tortoises.
: Galapagos,and Yellowfoots need a more humid environment. Sulcatas/leopards an arid one.
: Diet also differs, so read up first.
: Terry.


Check the kingsnake breeder files, I do remeber that there is a guy in CA that has Geochelone Nigra ( Galapogas), I just don't remeber where.
If you can find one in your state, you do NOT
need a CITES permit.
