Were can you buy a tunisian tortoise?
The Tunisian tortoise, Furchulachelys naebulensis, is a very rare and endangered tortoise. It is protected to the level of CITES appendix 1 and any offered for sale or trade must have an article 10 certificate and be fitted with a microchip if they are 10cms long or longer. They are a very beautiful and active tortoise. There are breeders around but they are few and far between. Tunisian tortoises are not the easiest torts to keep in the UK, being very prone to illness if the conditions are not just right. They must NOT be hibernated in the winter. You may be better advised to buy a Horsfields, Hermanns or Mediterranean Spur Thighed which are far easier to find and easier to keep.
