Well i've seen several clueless people on this forum who decide to purchase an animal on the spur of the moment without knowing what is entailed,is it alright for them to own them even if they are not so rare?I am researching for all available information,it probably will turn out that I won't get them but is it not more sensible to offer what knowledge you or others have in the event that I do?This should then ensure a higher rate of survival.Knowledge is better than ignorance.I do not condone the pet trade,they've done enough damage.Habitat destruction and pollution do more than their fair share but let's not forget the pet trade.How many species(not only tortoises) have become endangered or extinct due to it?
