Hey new to the site and to tortoises. I am in Southern California but don’t mind buying online. I am doing my research and one thing I am struggling with is where to buy from. I am looking for a western hermanns and there are quite a few places online but looking for advice on good reputable places. Thanks.

I purchased my Eastern Hermanns from Garden State Tortoise. You will need to place a prepaid order but I think Chris Leone is widely respected
Thank you. I am pushing for a western due to the max size difference between the two sub species. How big did your eastern get?

You may be waiting a year from GardenStatedTortoises if you try to order now.

GB tortoises had 4-5 Tuscans a while back on Fauna Classified. Not sure if he has more, but it would be worth contacting him first.

ArizonaTortoiseCompound.com has five Sardinians in stock currently.

My eastern is a hatchling. I know the westerns are smaller but more difficult to come by and more expensive. I believe that the recommended enclosure size is the same for both as adults.
