captive bred

Denver Colorado 2025 Repticon expo is only 2 days away and I'm nervous because of many reasons. Will the vendor be honest about the tortoise being captive or wild caught. I heard if a vendor has a big variety of different reptiles or only 1 or 2 of each species, it's most likely wild caught. I...

I have one CB2 July 2023 Russian tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii) youngster left. She was scheduled to ship this month, but the buyer backed out due to a family emergency. Healthy, great little eater. Eggs were incubated at 89-90°F, so should be a female. Been raised on weeds and garden greens...
