Do any breeders or rescues exist in this country? We have been searching for years. My husband owned his Chaco that I believe was imported in the 70s but we have been unable to locate any recently. Any leads appreciated!!!
I don't think they are so much hard to care for. But more hard to get them to adapt and thrive. Especially since most are coming or came from the wild. I never owned one few members do. Sexing I know can be tough.My understanding is that Chaco tortoises do not do well in captivity, which is why they are so scarce in the pet trade. You could try a Redfoot or Yellowfoot tortoise as they are from the same continent, although Chacos are generally more south of South America, but I don't think you will have much luck finding a Chaco...or even a Yellowfoot, actually, at a rescue as Maggie3fan said.
