: I'm not beginning with tortises. I have a gopher tortise that was rescued after a long trip from fla. with a moron, and a pancake tortise which was also a rescue(found on road)from a local humane society. I have just always wanted a desert tortise and would like to know where to look. I realise i can't keep it outdoors, but can make a suitable environment for it indoors.
: The nearest turtle and tortise society is NY, and the local herp societies seem to only deal with snakes.

: Thanks,

:You may want to take your problem to "Reptiles" magazine. Sounds commercial, but they're pretty informed. Your local petstore should have a copy.
:I currently have a Goper tortise, and am having difficulty researching her. I've kept reptiles for years, and just want to know her specific diet needs, optimum temp. and humidity, etc.
:I'd love any info I can get.
