Hi there!
I’m from Brazil and after much research and consideration I’ve decided to adopt a Russian Tortoise (testudo horsfieldii). I’ve come to learn a lot about the species (it’s an ever-going research) and I think it is the most adequate for me, however I can’t seem to be able to find one single person willing to sell or donate one in the country. I’ve heard some breeders say that the species doesn’t exist in Brazil, which seems weird to me because the climate seems adequate enough for the tortoise to thrive (it’s not like wanting to bring a tropical species to Siberia or anything like that!).
Anyway do any of you know about any vendors in Brazil? Is it possible to bring one from overseas or that would be considered smuggling? I don’t want to have any problems with the law, I just want one badly and am seeking help from you guys to find a way to get it.
Here’s hoping that someone here can help me out. Btw, feel free to reach out to me either here or privately through PM’s.
THANK YOU!!!!
