Hi and welcome!

Are tortoises purchased in pet store or directly from breeders in Hong Kong? Are they popular pets? What species are commonly available? Are there reptile shows or do transactions occur online?

Thanks

hi! mostly in pet store. they claimed that most of the tortoise are imported from other counties like Africa, US... I dun think there is any breeders in Hong Kong yet. probably in mainland China though. most common species are sulcata, leopard, star and red foot.

Nice! We don't have too many pet stores that stock those type of tortoises. It would be fun to see some photos if you get a chance. How much are they in US dollars?

Hello and welcome! It always makes me happy to see someone doing research BEFORE getting a tortoise!

You must let us know what you choose, and of course show us pictures!
