Looking for reputable breeder.

[AppalachianTortoise]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing a lot of research and I’m looking to get a South African leopard tortoise (pardalis pardalis). I already have a 4x2x2 indoor enclosure set up based on Tom’s guide, and I also have a 4x4 outdoor enclosure ready for warmer days. Does anyone know of any reputable breeders that are currently selling? I’d prefer a well-started baby if possible. Thanks in advance!

True South Africans, not mixes, and they start babies correctly. You can reach them here or on FB. I don't know of anyone else with true SA stock that also starts the babies correctly. They are good people too!
