How expensive can they be !! i asked myself. The missus has been going on about getting one for ages so we went out today to have a look at some . Got to a pet place where they had loads. How much i asked them..well the baby ones ( 2-4 years old) are £130 ish..Ok i thought, not too bad...then he said u will need a tank for it and a heater , A UV light ect ect...worked it out and it was gonna cost £400-450 inc the tortoise!!! YES !! I said £450 !!!!!! for a bloody tortoise that dosent even do anything anyway.

go buy a cheap fish tank shove a computer neon in there buy a plastic tortoise from a garden shop say to your missus it poisonous and wala £15 tops and she wont even know cos she cant pick up....all you have to do is remove the food every night lol

LMAO !! excellent idea mate!! she says she likes how slow they go so that idea should work a treat !!!

I got a Tortouise Head she can have

get a hermans 2 year old make sure that the shell is smooth, make sure it is id chipped if over 100mm

£450 - and you would only see it for half the year plus you would have to put yourself through a half hour of Blue Peter just before hibernation season to learn how to make it a hibernation box out of cornflakes box and sticky back plastic.

You should try three counties radio. They had an old lady on there a couple of weeks back that has hundreds of them. She runs a kind of refuge for them. She lives in the Leeds area. Thats all i know. Might be worth a try?

 

I wonder if she calls it the "YTCA" :rofl:
