I love Greek tortsGreeks are fine in the UK, same rules & regs as Hermanns and Russians
The Desert Tortoises in America (Sonoran, Gopher, etc) are protected species and owned by the states in which they originate in the wild. Folks who have them are simply a caretaker, not an owner. It's against the law to remove them from their home state, so anybody who has one and is moving out of state has to turn it over to Game & Fish Dept or give it to someone else residing in the home state.I love Greek torts
Ive never seen an American desert tort in the uk though.
Why are they protected? Is there a small population in the wild?The Desert Tortoises in America (Sonoran, Gopher, etc) are protected species and owned by the states in which they originate in the wild.

Yes, their population in the wild here is threatened, so government put protections on them.Why are they protected? Is there a small population in the wild?
