Please I need some good opinions!!!

[Logan J]

Roughly 6 weeks ago my Russian tortoise laid eggs and then yesterday she laid 3 more I'm wondering when the babies hatch how much do they typically sell for?

 

[Yvonne G]

Between $50 and $100.

Between $50 and $100.

This would be good. It will keep prices competitive with the WC pet store pricing.

Yvonne,
I would be interested in buying two of them from you. I could drive from vegas to pick them up or you could ship them.

 

[Logan J]

Awesome that's what I was thinking I'm not sure if I wanna sell to pet stores because they are horrible when it comes to the care of tortoises

 

[Greg T]

Try to sell them through the forum first. IF pet stores buy them, they will only give you bottom-dollar. besides, you will find people who really want your tortoise here on the forum versus some store just trying to make a buck. I've placed all my hatchlings so far through forum members. They are happy and I know the babies went to a good home.

 

[Logan J]

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

If you would know of anyone in Louisiana interested in baby Russian torts here is my email [email protected]

Most Russian hatchlings I have seen were $150-200.

 

[Logan J]

But the 150-200 prices were probably retail I'm looking at wholesale

 

[Laura]

don't spend your money yet.. they have to hatch and survive first....
good luck, I hope they do well!
are you incubating them?

 

[Logan J]

Yes I have one I purchased online I'm keeping them at 86 degrees with about 60% humidity

I know for a fact two are starting to hatch

..just to clarify my comment on competitive pricing to WC pet store torts was not a suggestion to sell to the stores.
It is about making captive bred torts more desirable to the public based on a $ amount.

I agree to sell to TFO members first.

This is my plan should my Russians ever breed.

Good luck

Yes, I have seen them range from $75 to $200 with the vast majority in the $150 area.

Logan, I may be interested. I live in Mandeville.

 

[Logan J]

To nick wag

Ok that's great to know and that's a easy drive I live in Baton Rouge

 

[NickWag]

Sweet! PM'ing you now!

They take about 60 days to hatch in an incubator. I bought my russian hatchlings for $80 each.

 

[Logan J]

Thanks Tom as long as the babies needs are met I'm willing to negotiate with the prices. I really just want good homes for them all.
