Hingeback Tortoise Speke/Homes

[DeanMckinney]

Interested in getting back into keeping Speke or Homes hinge back tortoises. Any thoughts on a reputable breeder to work with or if anyone is looking to get out of this species and is willing to sell. Thanks

Dean, right now, people producing hingebacks regularly and have surplus include Kurt Edwards in Oklahoma, Andrew Hermes of the Arizona Tortoise Compound, Jeremy Thompson, @JThompson of the Kinixys Cooperative, and I'm just starting to produce tortoises. We're all looking for people willing to work with Kinixys long term- they're a great group of tortoises!

Ive looked at those! I heard they were similar to boc turtles in care, is that true??
Also, I live in Oklahoma! Where would I find Kurt's info if I ever decided to go that route? They look like really cool little shell baby's lol
