The majority of the offerings below will not have new supply in 2025 once sold out. My forecasting based on embryo count and progress tends to be pretty on-point. Hold off at your own risk. Nobody is getting special priority aside from my project partners and it is largely first come, first served until I am out of stock.
Since formatting has shifted and my free time has become even more scarce, I will just make an availability list and serious people can email me about what is on the list if they are ready to pay. I do sometimes have other animals related to my projects that I do not take the time to list, so you can always reach out and ask if curious about something specific. I am not selling the holdbacks I show off on social media, however, the CB animals I provide are related to those holdbacks in many instances.
Contact/discussion will occur exclusively via email.

2025 Eastern Hermann's tortoises (boettgeri) - from large Greek maternal line
$300 each with shipping included if paid for via CashApp
$275 each with shipping included if paid for via Zelle
A larger and somewhat more striking lineage. The best species of tortoise for most keepers.
2025 Eastern Hermann's tortoises (boettgeri) -
$275 each with shipping included if paid for via CashApp
$250 each with shipping included if paid for via Zelle
Typical Easterns. The best species of tortoise for most keepers.
*coming soon*
CB subadult male Forsten's tortoise (forstenii) -
$1500 with shipping included if paid for via CashApp
$1225 with shipping included if paid for via Zelle
~6.5" scl and really nice; better to invest in this than to set your money ablaze on a WC one
I would accept a trade for:
two nice female elongata
one nice female elongata plus cash to make up the difference
one nice subadult to adult female marginata plus cash to make up the difference (or no cash if the female is especially large and nice)
You would ship first in a trade situation.
Burmese black tortoise (phayrei) - probable female
$2000 with shipping included if paid for via Zelle; more if using CashApp
~8" scl
Non-VM line. If the proven female I have posted for sale happens to sell first, this one will be taken off of the market to grow out more.
CB Burmese black tortoise (phayrei) - proven adult female
$7000 cash in person
$300 for shipping if paid for via Zelle
~18" scl
Non-VM line. Trends small in size for an adult, but still has big clutches. Curious and relatively friendly temperament. I am not committed to selling her, but I am considering cutting my group down a little and giving them a different enclosure configuration than they currently occupy. Naturalistic shell wear from wild-like living and breeding. No trades. No offers. No special arrangements. Pick up or a deal within the state is preferable, but I can ship if necessary.
South African leopard tortoises (formerly known as pardalis pardalis) - several available
$400 each to $775 each with shipping included if paid for via Zelle or CashApp
$1075 shipped for five fresh 2025s if paid for via Zelle; some in the group of five may have split scute

$475 each with shipping included if paid for via CashApp
$425 each with shipping included if paid for via Zelle
Ivory sulcata tortoise with split scutes - ivory #2
$800 with shipping included for each if paid for via Zelle
The animal has aberrant/split scutes. Probably the last one I will have available this year.

$550 for 1 with shipping included if paid for via CashApp
$500 for 1 with shipping included if paid for via Zelle
$1150 for 3 with shipping included if paid for via Zelle

2024 Brazilian cherryheads -
from $325 shipped to $425 shipped
Varied attributes. Most are red-toned. Several have marbling. One has a greater amount of marbling.
Can do reasonable discounts for multiples.
*The 2025 yield is anyone's guess for now, so keep that in mind.*
2024 50% het for hypo Brazilian cherryhead -
$500 with shipping included if paid for via CashApp

$1300 with shipping included for 2 probable males and 1 unsexed animal together if paid for via CashApp
$1200 with shipping included for 2 probable males and 1 unsexed animal together if paid for via Zelle
I will not produce 100% hets in 2025 or 2026 since I expect to do het to het breeding next year. That will result in albinos and 67% hets instead of 100% hets.
2024 D'Orbigny's sliders (dorbigni) -
$175 shipped for 1 via CashApp or Zelle
$210 to $325 for 2-packs (two turtles together)
