I've found that local filipinos the instant they find out I am an American usually double the price on me ( went through that when buying my horse, but know the equine market far better than tortoise market), so I am looking for a reputable breeder or legitimate seller of legal hand raised tortoises. I do not want a huge species in the event I finally decide to return to the USA, I don't want to try shipping a 200#+ animal back to the USA or have to find it a new home. Any help would be appreciated.
Wanted small to moderate sized tortoise located in Philippines at reasonable price.

Read through the different care sheets. Skip the sulcata and Aldabra ones, they get too big. The Mountain Blacks I believe are too big also. Most any species would do great in your temps. A good first tort would be a Hermanns, Greek or Russian. All stay fairly small.
Had already written off sulcata & leopards and will remember to include Mountain Blacks. Up by Manila finding some ads for Stars, Radiated and Russians w Russians being the price-isn't. Just would like a handle on the breeders. I'very been in horse, dog, cat and other animal /livestock breeding most of my life and know breeder reputation goes a long way in helping with trust when venturing into a new area as tortoises are for me.
