I have a female bells hingeback tortoise that is possibly for sale this species is very hard to come by, let me know if you are interested I am not asking a fortune for her I want her to go to a very loving home, thank you
Yes Yes! Please don't say you already sold her
. Can you tell I always find these things out too late. I do desperately need and want a female Bells.
I have had Bells for years. Not sure of actual dates, but at least 15 yrs. At one time I was lucky enough to have several adult pairs. My original pair, Ding and Dong, blessed me with several clutches and I had three of the cutest hatchlings as a result. Unfortunately my husband got jealous and decided the torts had to go. Fool that I was, I chose him over the torts...huge mistake! I was able to keep the first male, Dong. The rest went into a breeding program, but years later I can't locate the woman.
Now no longer with that husband, I am wanting to start breeding again. Unlike at that time when a Bell could be found at almost any pet store, because of the import laws, they are indeed rare. A few have come along, but like I said before, I am normally a day late, dollar short on getting one.
I do have a sweet hatchling I am raising hoping it will be a female...okay I am just trying to convenience myself, with my luck it's a male...lol.
So yes, if you do have a female I would love to talk more.
*doing a happy dance*....maybe just maybe this time I have found a mate for old Ding! Okay trying to calm down and act normal
