: You all have no idea how lucky you are that you can just walk into a local pet shop and buy a turtle or tortoise. Here in New Jersey the selling of tortoises and turtles is illegal. Because of risk of salmonella. After doing tons of research, I have decided that I would like to purchase a Russian tortoise. My challenge now is how to get one. I can go out of state, but I would like to order one from an online breeder. My question is: Does anyone have any experience from ordering tortoises off line? And if so, can you reccomend a place? I have found a couple of places that look pretty reliable, but I am still nervous about ordering.
Hi, I live in New Jersey as well, and about 3 years ago, I purchased my tortoise, depending on where you live, you can go just accross the NJ/NY border to Spring Valley NY, I bought mine at Fred's Pet Center, I don't have the number handy, but if you call information, you can get it, he has a large variety, and is helpful.
good luck,
Bill, email me if you need more info
