I've always liked pancakes because they tend to break all the rules as far as tortoises go, they are fast, soft shelled and can easily right themselves if flipped over!

Basic care of this species is not as difficult as some may expect but breeding can be problematic. I hate to quote a price because you should never buy an animal because it's a "good deal".

Pancakes were once very common in the pet trade, I paid $60 for one seven years ago! Kenya will not export pancakes and Tanzania has greatly restricted, if not totally stopped export. Here in the US you can now expect to pay between $400 and $600 ea.

: I am interested in a pancake tortoise .. any info , including price would be appreciated .. thank you
